help - fences on roaming profiles when workstation does not have fences installed

from Stardock Forums

Hey,

does anyone have any idea how to reset desktop icons when in your profile when venturing from one workstation to another that does/doesn't have fences installed???

On my roaming profile Fences is sweet when i'm on my own workstation, but when i use another workstation that doesn't have fences installed i see no icons on my desktop and seem to have no way of seeing them again unless i browse thrugh explorer, so i know the icons are there for sure.

what's the workaround for this so i can see my icons back on the desktop on alternative workstations???

thanks guys and gals,

matty

Fences actually stores which icons it's managing in the registry, which I don't think roams with your profile.  Will have to bring this up with the developer.

Afterthought:  It may be that the Desktop icons are hidden.  Right click on the desktop and make sure "Show Desktop icons" is checked.
