what is fences.ni.exe and what does it do?

and where does fences get its info on my wallpaper?

from Stardock Forums

I notice that when fences is enabled, it draws my wallpaper, with the fences I have configured, on top of any other wallpaper, such as, for instance, the wallpaper that Windowblinds changes for me every hour. When I turn off Fences, that wallpaper pops back up.

I went looking for a possible explanation and can't really find it. I'm sure Fences looks somewhere in my wallpaper folder and chooses a picture to use, but that picture does not change on the regular basis I want, and I can't find out how to tell Fences NOT to change my wallpaper.

Help would be appreciated. I think Fences would be more stable also if it didn't have to draw the wallpaper all the time.

Hi,

I don't see much sense in that - it's just one pretty picture instead of another, the one I really want. The fences are drawn correctly.

I asked about fences.ni.exe because I went looking on my hard drive for a folder that might have a wallpaper file that fences uses, and I found an executable called fences.ni.exe in a hidden folder in my windows directory. It was called nativeimages and therefore caught my attention.

Again, what I'm seeing is this: when windows boots, I see my wallpaper as set up by WB7 (i.e. it changes every hour, in sequence, from a chosen folder), then when fences starts it draws another wallpaper. When I disactivate fences, that wallpaper disappears and the original one reappears.

I can be a little more specific now, too. This seems to be something that does not happen in windows 7 - only in xp. I have sp3 installed.
