This is Windows 3.x "Program Manager" (progman.exe)
When Windows 95 first came out, I used to put progman.exe in my Startup because I missed how Windows 3.x used to organize icons inside their own panes with labels. Now over 20 years later, here's an app that does the same thing. Cracks me up!

I've missed Program Manager for so long, never liked the desktop metaphors they introduced in 95 and certainly not how they further limited it in 8 and 10.
Now I wonder how closely you can set up Fences to resemble Program Manager in look and function. I.e, can you have tiled program groups that can be minimized (into icons) and take each others place when necessary and are there any wider sorting options, such as sorting each group alphabetically and then their internal icons? Can it automatically create "groups" out of Star menu folders (that is, reverse how Windows 95 converted 3.1 groups into folders)?

Any way through fences or other object desktop components to remove the taskbar entirely and replace it with a 3.1/Mac style top menu where the list of active programs is a drop down menu instead?
