XP/SP3; Fences free. Every time before shutting down my computer, I make sure the only desktop icons that show are ones I have excluded from hiding; i.e., I invoke Fences if necessary. At the next start up, about half the time Fences kicks in and half the time it doesn't, i.e., all desktop icons show. Since it didn't seem to be that way when first installed, I'm wondering what might have changed. I use Autoruns and everything labeled Fences is checked. Thanks,
