No help here.  Have always had this same problem.  I've had to delete and replace, a real unnecessary pain in the fence since day one.

Basj, imagine you have a hundred desktop shortcuts across three monitors. You add a new shortcut but can't find it.  Usually, but not always it goes to a sort of default fence.  Then i drag it to where I want it.

it's when it doesn't go to the default fence that I find it easier open file explorer, desktop, sort by date, delete, than back to desktop and created.  Is there a way via File Explore to move a shortcut to a specific fence?

What I do if I cannot "find" an icon, which is likely hidden under something else, is to look in the Desktop folder, delete the item in question, and create a new one which (I "hope"), I will see and place as desired. 

Ah, that explains why new icons usually want to the same folder. Have created a dedicated new fence for this. Thank you muchly.

I do not find how to create "Temp Fence".  I do find the option to "Send new (multiple types of items) to this (new) fence."

Also, even when the item is not new, an old item will move and "hid".  Sometimes, I can search and find it and sometimes it is easier to "Delete and replace".

I have never mastered the apparently random shuffling within fences and the individual icons not inside a fence.  I just live with it.  On balance it is a "keeper". 

FYI  As I have sight problems (two detached retinas), I have changed the screen to a black background, which yields yellow fence names and white item descriptions.  It's weird at first, but becomes familiar and is much, much easier to read.

So, I assume, all is good now? Please let us know if you still need our help.

Thank you,
