I'm looking for a way to get my desktop more organized, not that now it has a lot of icons (currently around a dozen), but still wanna make it more pretty. :) I use Windows 7 x64.
Anyone has experience with this kind of software? Can you please give me recommendations?

I'm using Fences [the free version], and it's great, i have about 100 icons, neatly placed. The only downside is that sometimes icons like to jump the fence when there's a change in the resolution, in games for example. So when You get a lot of them icons, Fences is a neat idea.;)

I use Fences now - used to use ObjectDock (have used RocketDock before too) but find that the system resources it uses aren't worth its pretty skin - the Windows 7 task bar is much better.
Fences is a great way to keep stuff organized.. and out of sight.
@Arteveld - the only time I have seen icons/fence areas jump around with resolution changes are if a) for some reason the resolution didn't change back properly on game exit [rarely happened to me in Vista, never had it happen yet *fingers crossed* in Windows 7] or if I don't have the icons hidden when launching a game.
I also recommend a small app called 7stacks - it allows you to create custom 'jump' menus on your Windows 7 task bar. I use it to organize game shortcuts and the like.

I rarely hide them, mostly because i rarely look at the desktop.;) The resolution changes back, and then an icon [usually one] switches fences. Perhaps it's because of the size of my Fences [exact size required for all icons to be seen]. I wish there was an option to label icons and use those labels to place icons in specific fences. Then, even if some\thing bad happens like "select all icons and click properties" which on my Fences places almost all icons in one fence, it could be easily fixed without resorting to restoring a [usually old] layout.
Oh, and then theres that problem with selecting icons with the mouse [left click+ drag], somehow it always leaves the left row unselected. Weird.
But despite that Fences rock.;>
Oh, and it's 103 icons, on 1280x1024, and they take only a bit over half of my screen. ;P

I've only had experience with rocketdock, but it doesn't slow down my eeepc at all so it can't be much of a resource hog. I've gotten it to do some pretty tricky stuff too, like web shortcuts that open in a new tab if I have a browser open, instead of opening their own window.

I also recommend Fences. I don't use it on my desktop, but it is great on the media box (aka the popcap computer).
I've discovered that the Windows 7 taskbar and the Vista/7 search box in the start menu have just about eliminated my need for those sort of tools. My top 10 programs are always in the task bar, and if I need anything else I just need to type in a few letters.

I don't really like these desktop software thingies, I just pin my crap on to my taskbar (Windows Explorer, iTunes, Firefox, Steam) anyway. I used to use those Quicksilver-like programs (Mac users will know what I'm talking about) where you could "summon" programs up and it would let you free up desktop space.
Windows 7 pretty much made all these things redundant IMO.

I use object dock myself. I used to use fences but after a few months, it completely fucked up resulting in locking me out of the PC due to how it would crash during start up, resulting in a state in which even the task manager was not accessible.
I thought that was a one off, but it happened for the second time on a fresh install and then a third time on a separate PC, I no longer use fences. Just not worth the bother when it fucks up.
Object dock, while it does crash once in a blue moon (more so if you allow it to run automatically on start up -- at least in my experience) is a far better solution. I personally manually start it up after Windows has finished loading, then unload it before shutting down. And in doing so, see perhaps one crash a month or so.
However, Object dock does not work well with the new Steam client (if you're using Object dock's ability to display taskbar items in a dock).
If you using that feature and you start chatting via Steam, Object dock will crash 99% of the time.
Of course my experience is mainly with XP and with non-US language based OS. So perhaps Fences is far more stable on Win 7 (but I personally wouldn't risk it after the trouble I had). Same with Object dock, Steam might actually work with it fine on Win 7. I'll let you know later this year if I ever manage to persuade my boss to fork out the $500 or so to buy Win 7.

I have object dock on windows XP.
The pros:
- pretty
- customizable (to a certain extent)
- Fairly efficient and stable
The cons:
- takes a little while to load on start up
- doesn't handle the system tray very well.
All in all, I got my money's worth out of it and enjoy it. There is a free version out there that you can try out; see if you like it.

I have delldock, i think that's the same as objectdock. To be honest I never use it, so is should probably uninstall it, but it doesn't use much in the way of resources.
It seems fine, but I always launch things with the start button on vista. Start. Type a few letters. Enter. It's always quicker for me than clicking on things, and it means I don't have to organise anything, nothing in my start menu is sorted at all.
When I was on XP I used FindAndRunRobot2, which was an awesome launcher with loads of cool features. But as a simple launcher the vista start bar works fine - so i never bothered installing it on vista.
I keep my desktop empty.

ObjectDock works fine for me on 64bit. I like it as it keeps the stuff I use a lot right at hand. Included a pic of my Dock which has My Computer, Tweetdeck, Configure Dock, EADM, XFire, Chrome, GOG downloader, Steam, Skype, iTunes, Impulse, CCleaner and Recycle Bin.

I used both ObjectDock and RocketDock and, to be blunt, I prefer RocketDock. It uses far less resources in my ye olde PC. Of course, I don't have Windows 7, so I can't comment if that renders both redundant. I've never used Fences.
I also use Rainmeter for keeping notes and keeping track of my PC usage, although I understand you can modify it to produce some very pretty desktops.

i have Vista x64

Preety is an understatement... and this is just the default setting :-O

Thanks for pointing out Rainmeter, I didn't know it until now and you got me very interested. It almost seems like an overkill, I don't think I would be able to use all the functions :) Also, is it stable enough for normal use? Thanks for answers :)
