One fence title doesn't hide in Fences Stardock Forums

Fences 2.13, Win 8.1 Pro x64. I've got one Fence title that remains on the desktop when I double click and hide all the others (along with those icons not excluded from quick hide). There are a couple of icons in it, and I just noticed that niether responds to exclude quick hide being disabled; i.e., they always show. That must be where the problem lies. Any ideas? Thanks, Update: not sure what was causing it, but deleted the Fence and icons and recre

So may I assume the correction for that feature inadvertently occurring for those who didn't know or intend to empty their desktop of icons is prominently displayed as well?

Thanks. That does look like it. Given the apparent havoc it can cause to the unsuspecting, why is it enabled by default?

Icons disappearing bug still seems to be present in Fences Stardock Forums

I just did a clean resintall of Win 8.1 and Fences 2.13. I recall that somewhere between 2.11 and 2.13, probably 2.11 in Oct 2013, I reported here an odd behavior, seemingly a bug, that caused all the icons on the desktop to disappear. I just ran into it again setting up the new install. It occurs when there is a horizontally displayed fence that abuts the (left) edge of the screen. If I try to insert an icon in that fence to its left along the edge of the screen, that

Some Windows icons won't exclude from hiding in Fences Stardock Forums

Just installed 2.13 and imported the old snapshot after clean Win 8.1 reinstall. Previously. a number of shortcuts on my desktop such as Computer, Desktop and Users would exclude from hiding, but now they won't take it (hold the check). Others that I would think fall in the same category, such as Task Scheduler, Control Panel and the System Drive are taking the exclude. I've tried reccreating them and copying the old .lnk back in, but no go. Any trick or setting to t

Thanks, I've sent a pm, along with a screenshot of the receipt. Strange thing, tho, as I was doing that, I gave it a few more tries and it finally activated, even with the email address the system doesn't otherwise recognize. Maybe I was mistyping or leaving out one of the character groups, as it is a long number. Finding out why that email doesn't otherwise work in the system is now the need.

Thanks for that link. Two tries, the first over three hours ago, and no emails on either address. I've found the receipt with order number and license code for Fences 2 upgrade, but the latter doesn't work either. I'll give them a call.

Seem to have deleted the ticket number email. Deleted cache/history and all Stardock cookies and tried three browsers (Opera 12, FF34, IE11), but makes no difference - email that I bought 2.0 with (18 Oct 2013) is not recognized as valid. Of course, the account I created last week to get into the system and this forum doesn't show my v1 or v2 purchases.

My experience with the Windows 8 problem was that the support queue was typically well over a week long, which meant the possibility of a meaningful exchange was virtually impossible. Are you diplomatically saying that it's still the same? There is no spam folder issue here. Thanks,

I've been using Fences 2 since Oct 2013 (and v1 since 2011). I did a Win 8.1 clean reinstall Monday and then reinstalled Fences, 2.13 I presume. Tried to activate it and it didn't recognize my email/pw. Went to the site and it didn't recognize my registration email and pw there either, but when I entered that very same email to reset my pw, the email came and I was able to reset the same pw. But trying to activate or log onto the site, I kept getting the in
