If you are tired of your desktop’s same old look, you might want to try using this freeware. It’s called Resolution Changer.

Resolution Changer is a command line application that can change your desktop width, height, color depth, and refresh rate temporarily or permanently (via command line switches).

One useful thing about this software is that it allows you to run another application in a specific display resolution and return to the previous resolution when the application finishes. The command lines switches let you alter only certain dimensions and choose the best refresh rate (or a specific one).

The latest version has these changes:

• Fixed a bug with parsing the command line
• Added support for using ‘max’ for width and height
• Added -test switch

Though the software really does what it says- changes resolution, you may not really find any major use for it. But it’s still worth checking out.

Here is a good software for you to use to detect dead links and duplicates.

AM-DeadLink detects dead links and duplicates in your Browser Bookmarks. If a Bookmark has become unavailable you can delete it from your Browser. This software is really good. It checks Bookmarks from Internet Explorer, Opera, and Netscape. With AM-Deadlink you can also download FavIcons for all your Favorites and Bookmarks.

The truth is the software is not a hundred percent accurate it could declare some links as dead when they are still active but like I have observed it doesn’t happen often, you can be sure of a 98.5% accuracy, which is more than good enough.

A new version, AM-DeadLink 3.0, has just been released with these changes:

• Windows Vista: Flip3D, thumbnail preview and correct animations supported
• Windows Vista: Use “Segoe UI” as default font
• Windows Vista: Several controls could disappear when the ALT key was pressed
• Internal check technology completely rewritten (should fix several “mysterious” bugs)
• Save all Firefox FavIcons to disk (extract embedded FavIcons)
• Sort Bookmarks with FavIcons to the top of list (Bookmarks menu)
• Several user interface tweaks
• File+Open works also for Opera/Firefox/Mozilla
• AM-DeadLink could crash on exit when a anti virus software or a desktop search software blocked the configuration files
• Minor tweaks and fixes
