    What is your favorite program that changes the look of your desktop or keeps your stuff organized? My favorite is "Fences". Those of you that have ever had your desktop folders and shortcuts scrambled after updating your graphics card drivers will know why... Thanks for watching :)

      I am going to try _Folder Marker_ . It seems like the most useful because I often have many folders on my desktop and it's hard to find the right one. The other skins stuff, it has been my previous experience, they slow down system performance or are buggy and crash often.

      Richard Tidd QAP seems very cool. The sites home page does a horrible job of describing what the program does. To get a better understanding, I had to watch part of the 40-minute webcast... They should replace that whiteboard video with a quick 1-2 minute demo of the program being used.

    Thank you. I find all of these programs useful, especially Fences.
    Viewers should know its functionality is far greater than making collections of folders and shortcuts. The ability to "roll up" an individual fenced window, move it around, and snap it to edges is one of Fences' most useful features.

    • @BrettInTech
      @BrettInTech  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Fences has more functionality that what I showed. I agree the "Roll Up" feature is very useful to clean up the desktop. It's definitely a space saver.

" you get a few more colors to choose from. Also, their website has a set of 7 "CB patterned colors that you can download for free.

    A suggestion of a subject for your next video: a program that guarantees that your files were effectively backed up. Let me explain: I have many HD of different sizes. Backing up files from a 8 Tb HD is not easy, since I haven't others, so I had to back up files to different HDs. How to make sure that all my files are indeed backed up without having to scroll through them all? The best I could think of was using programs that search for duplicated files - but it's not either elegant or practical. Perhaps there are some program that actually does that, but I couldn't find one even searching the internet around. Any suggestions?

    You should have included Display Fusion as it is one the best I have used. Separate wallpaper on each monitor as well as task bars that cross all screens that show what is running on that screen.

    • @BrettInTech
      @BrettInTech  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not sure which version of Windows that you have, but that can all be done now in Windows 10. Display Fusion seems very useful for those with older operating systems.

    • @knightaudit
      @knightaudit 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Windows can do some of it .. but still lacks the task bar support ... It will set the task bar across all monitors but will show all open tasks on each bar, not tasks per monitor. Such as File Explorer on Monitor one and a browser only on monitor 2 .. as well it allows me to access windows 10 notifications from either Monitor. I use a triple monitor set up at work and I still have to go to the main to search for a program to launch.
