Quite agreeably there are several desktop management programs out there. But if you want something that is unique and feature rich, then go for Fences.

What is Fences all about?

The unique thing about this program is that it allows you to draw labeled shaded areas on your desktop, which becomes movable & resizable containers for your desktop icons. It can hide icons when they are not in use as well as make it easy to place icons into moveable groups called “fences”. You can create several pages of fences on your desktop which you can use to organize all of your programs, documents, websites and more.

It also allows you to define how you want your icons to be arranged. It can also act as a portal to a particular folder. You can set your documents as fences and access them without having to clutter your desktop. If you want, you could also create virtual desktops. So if you have a crowded desktop, Fences is the solution you need.

Stardock, the author of this program has added a few changes to this version. They are: Persistent fences (and their icons) across pages, Network drive connection detection. Fences will attempt to recreate mapped folder locations on a reboot, Page indicator and Added ability to reset appearance of All Fences. Others include Recycle bin jumps out of Fence, Right click actions make files jump into the same fence, Unable to move portal fence if title is off and “Sort by” appears twice for folder fences with labels hidden among other changes.

Downsides?

It is not free beware! A neat program though.
