Hope this helps some one else,

I'm using Fences 2.10 and the latest df beta.

Are you running Fences 2.0?

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problems-with-desktop-icon-profiles-and-fences/?ID=03642d68-e087-41ac-b716-3fa509880d2e Mon, 23 Jun 2014 00:36:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problems-with-desktop-icon-profiles-and-fences/?ID=03642d68-e087-41ac-b716-3fa509880d2e DisplayFusion I use Displayfusion in conjunction with Fences to be more organized. Whenever I load a desktop icon profile, the icons are moved to their correct place. However, when I double-click any desktop shortcut, the icons are moved to a different location, and even the fence I use is changed. I do not have this problem when Fences is disabled.

I should note that I use a monitor profile that disables my primary monitor and sets my secondary monitor as the main. My primary monitor resolution is 1920x1200, and my secondary is 1280x1024

This is how the icon layout should look, and how it appears when I first load the profile:

And here is how it is changed after running a desktop shortcut:
