===Roll up Start10===
Eliminate clutter from your desktop - but keep your Start10 where it's easy to find them - with our roll up feature. Double-clicking on a Fence's title-bar will cause the rest of the Fence to "roll up" into it, saving you valuable space. To reveal your fence, you can move your mouse over the title-bar or double-click it again to view the title and all of its icons as normal.


===Desktop Pages===
===Quick Access===
Create multiple pages of Start10 on your desktop and quickly swipe between them. To change to a different desktop page, just take your mouse cursor to the edge of your screen and click and drag. Then a new page of Start10 will be displayed. This feature provides greater control over how you can organize favorite programs, documents, websites and more.
Quick and convenient access to search means your desktop applications and new Universal applications are always accessible. Running with multiple monitors? Add a Start menu to the secondary taskbar for always at hand access.


===Desktop Quick-hide===
===Stylize===
Instantly clean up your desktop. Double-click any blank space on your desktop and your desktop icons will fade out. Double-click again and they will return. You can even pick icons and individual Start10 to exclude.
Try a Modern take on the Start menu with a clean, flat style.


==Control==

===Automatic desktop organization===
Define rules for how your icons are arranged on your desktop and Start10 will automatically sort new icons into the Start10 you have chosen based on your rules.

Start10 can act as a portal to any folder on your PC. For example, your documents or pictures folders can be mirrored onto your desktop as a fence enabling quick access to their contents without adding clutter to your desktop.
Choose your favorite color for the Start menu and enjoy custom textures for your taskbar. An array of bundled images and textures let you personalize your PC.
