It would be really nice to have Fences inside of Explorer, or even another app with Explorer's functions. Heck, add it to the View options: List, Detail, Tile, Fences. I love having my desktop organized with Fences - having my folder organized the same way would be great. I might actually use something other than Detail view if I had this.
Perhaps you could explain what Fences are, so more people (like myself) know what you're talking about? 
I agree it looks awesome, but most people just need to put less shortcuts on their desktop, period. Most people need to look for a shortcut because they put pretty much every silly thing on there. Not even to mention downloading to your desktop map.
I have 0 icons on my desktop at the moment. Yes, zero. And yes I can find eveything quickly. A solid map/partition structure helps a lot too by the way.
I like that the only icon on destkop is the recycle bin 
Everything else is pinned on taskbar (Windows 7 :))
I've got about 10 things on the desktop; I've never considered it a badge of honor to have less things, it's just that with more, it's harder to find them. But I know plenty of people whose desktops are completely full with crap, and who refuse to remove any of it (luddites!), so there is a clientelle.
to me, when i put things on the desktop, its not about things being "easier/harder to find" but rather the fact that the desktop provides "instant access" to the recent/frequent-access things of all my top topics.
p.s. good suggestion, i just don't know how i'd do it!!
think it would fit the bill if, in explorer on Vista or Win 7, you could quickly group stuff together via similar method, and it would show up in groups like when you right click a folder and do say "Group By --> Name"?
Well it should be easily doable as W7 gadgets can be placed anywhere and I'm sure a gadget containing some shortcuts isn't that hard to do.
And if you want easy access why not use the quicklaunch? It saves you a click each time......
Yeah, what I was trying to say was that when you fill up your desktop, it's harder to sort through all the junk files, so I like to keep mine reasonably small.
Also if you have a small amount of RAM and a lot of icons on your desktop, they will eventually show up, but with a lot of laaaaaaaaaaaaag.
That's why Fences are so cool 
How do fences help with that? If I look at my gagdets they take quite a bit of RAM and I assume fences are no different. Maybe you could use caching to help but nothing can fix low RAM except more RAM
Correct.
About the previous post.
I don't know what the f*ck I was thinking. I guess I mixed up RAM with caching 
Another of my attempts to help - another fail
