Transferring the Fences Layout/Snapshot

The easiest way to restore a Fences layout on another PC is by transferring the file created by the backup/snapshot saving system.

Once a backup of the Snapshot is saved, simply copy the file from one machine to the corresponding location on the new PC, then restore it through the installed Fences configuration settings.

Backups of your Fences Layout/Snapshot are stored in the following directory:

  • In Windows 7/8/10/11: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Stardock\Fences\Backups

  • You will need to replace USERNAME with your user account name for Windows. 

  • Alternatively, you can import the following registry key into the new machine's registry:

    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\FencesHighlight
