This is far too broad for me. I won't use it.
Thank you for pointing that out. In today's world that is unacceptable, I get needing ad revenue but that is a red flag

it's very..crappy...and the EULA is horrendous.
basically:
install our shite tool and we can steal your computer data in any way we feel necessary!!
WE'RE ASSHOLES IF WE WANT TO BE ASSHOLES!
Stardock Fences would be my favorite icon grouper, but its license activation is unstable and obsessively paranoid. It randomly loses its activation and I have to re-activate. Nimi Places gives me nearly the same functionality without the activation hassles. I just wish Nimi Places could perform its organization without my having to move my stuff into separate folders, for reasons. Still, I'd rather do that than to continue the Stardock activation battles.
An hour of my life that I'll never get back trying to make Nimi Places to work. First it crashed, almost immediately. Then it crashed again after reboot. Then I went to un-install and Nimi was nowhere to be found. No uninstall, no shortcut, no desktop icon, nothing in the Start Menu. Not even in Control Panel, nothing. Until I rebooted and there it was, embedded in my system and crashing again. So I bit the bullet and did a manual uninstall, delete from the Programs folder, scrape the registry, etc. But hey THAT'S ALWAYS A BLAST, RIGHT?!?!?! Try not to waste unsuspecting people's time for personal benefit. Knock it off and don't be evil.
Crashes on Windows 10, requires uninstalling manually:
Then the only places referencing it will be lists of "recently ran applications" or "recently opened files".
