So by default, Fences is programmed to exclude the RecycleBin, MyComputer and MyDocuments from being hidden during an quickhide. Two arguments could be made from this...
1) For most users, this is a good thing, as those are popular/useful links to leave unhidden. Since many users won't poke around enough to figure out how to exclude icons (e.g. picture an 'everyuser'), it's convenient to set that up for them automatically. Savvy users will figure out how to toggle them off. And in either case, it kindof forces users to learn about the useful feature.
2) This is a bad thing, because its just plain confusing. E.g. "quick-hide is broken, it leaves some icons!". This operates under the belief that most people want absolutly no icons on their desktop when they double-click hide.
Probably going to stick to #1, which is where I am now, due largely to the educational value. Perhaps I just need to add more text to that first dialog that comes up that explains quick-hide. But anyhow, thoughts??
