Please right-click on the desktop, then browse to 'View'. Is "Lock Fences" checked? If not, please right-click on the desktop -> Configure Fences -> About -> Check for updates and install the latest version to see if it resolves the problem.

You can still use Impulse to update the free version of Fences. You can get Impulse here: http://www.impulsedriven.com/downloads/impulse_setup_full.exe You can also update by right-clicking on the desktop -> Configure Fences -> About -> Check for updates. Note that the installer on the Fences product page will also be updated.

Just a quick update: a fix is being worked on right now. However, I don't have an ETA an its release at this time. When available, you can download it from under the "Updates" tab in Impulse. Note that the "Updates" tab is only visible when updates are available.

ObjectDock v2 is missing the UI element for doing backups. However, you can simply save the following folder and zip it, which is the same thing: XP:C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Stardock\ObjectDockPlus Vista/7: C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Stardock\ObjectDockPlus

The Fences shell extension for the context menus are in: C:\Program Files\Stardock\Fences\FencesMenu.dll and C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\Fences\FencesMenu64.dll Depending on if you have a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system. Unfortunately it's all or nothing in this case. As the actual strings themselves are contained in the DLLs, you will have to disable all Fences context menu entries. To do so, download ShellExView from here: 32-b

I see that you have an ObjectDesktop registration, but not a registration for Desktop X Pro. Note that ObjectDesktop comes with Desktop X Standard, not professional. If Impulse is reporting that Pro is installed, I recommend right-clicking on its entry, then clicking "Hide Application". You can read about the differences between versions here: https://www.stardock.com/products/desktopx/purchase.asp

Fences requires .NET Framework 2.0 to be installed, so please ensure you have that. Note that while newer Windows versions come with .NET, XP does not. Try uninstalling Fences completely and then run the file below: http://sd.stardock.com/curtHendzell/clear_fences_settings.reg Once you do this, reboot and reinstall the latest version through Impulse.

If you decide to go the ObjectDock Plus v2 beta route, please post beta feedback here (bugs, feature suggestions, etc): https://forums.stardock.com/379048 You're certainly not obligated to, but the more bugs we know about, the more we can fix.

The alternative to sorting rules would be to place the icons in each fence manually. It can be a pain, but once you have it set up you're good to go. Also, you can take a snapshot under Configure Fences -> Tools -> Snapshots to make sure that you don't lose how you have your icons set up. I imagine future releases will offer more sorting rules, but I don't know what Jeff specifically has planned.

The available rules are sorting based on: Name Type File Size By creating program By time of the day By day of the week Unfortunately, the available sorting rules don't include sorting based on the icon's origination.

Not through ObjectDock itself. Just off the top of my head, you could write a script that opens and closes ObjectDock (based on which command line argument it receives) that you could call with Keyboard Launchpad: https://www.stardock.com/products/klp/
