Hide fences on startup

Was wondering if it is possible to hide fences on startup without having to hide them before turning off my pc.

 

Fences sometimes starts a bit laggy so I'd rather have it hidden on startup.

 

Some time ago someone reported that the feature was implemented already here:https://forums.stardock.com/367515/page/1/#2752443 , altough I can't seem to find it.

That would require me to click my desktop every time, I was wondering if they could just per default be hidden on startup.

Hello,

I'm not sure haven't tried it but you can try this disable Fences in Task manager at start up 

then click of fences after and make sure it works OK.

Thanks for your reply, but sadly this does not hide the fences/desktop items at startup.

You could use this registry entry to disable Fences but you would need to reboot to see it happen.

That completely disables fences, which makes my icons show like this on startup.

That is what you asked for, yes?

Sorry, maybe I was not clear enough. I am talking about the quick-hide funtion, where icons are just hidden, and are shown again when double clicking on the desktop. I want the icons only hidden on startup, not fences disabled.

Un checking the option to always show icons at startup should fix your issue.

Yes as what Jim said. Uncheck the "Always show icons at startup" and "automatically hide icons immediately" selected should do it. Let us know if you still need help on that.

Thank you,
