Do you find that you need to frequently change your screen resolution or colour depth? Some reasons could be when doing demos, switching between monitors, recording/capturing the screen, connecting to projectors, etc.

It’s a bit of an inconvenience to have to go to the display properties each time or use the little system tray icon utility provided by your graphics card software. FastRes is a useful little alternative that resides in your system tray.

It enables you to very quickly change between resolutions anytime you wish, without having to click several layers deep into your computer settings. It’s freeware and you can get it here.

Have you ever had times when your browser or some other program insisted on opening in a little window instead of being maximized full screen? Autosizer is the answer to this mildly irritating situation.

It’s a small utility that works from the system tray and can be used to make almost any program open maximized or exactly to the size and coordinates that you want. It works with almost any program, including web browsers, Notepad, etc. It’s really easy to use, you can easily add to it’s list which programs you want to run with their windows at a certain size.

I know I like things to be fullscreen most of the time, especially browsers and it can be a little annoying when the browser decides to open in a really small window (although this hasn’t happened me for a long time now).

It’s freeware and its over here.

Tired of boring mails? Want to add some spice or life to your emails? IncrediMail could be what you need.

IncrediMail is an advanced email program that offers you an unprecedented interactive experience. You can do a lot with your emails like personalizing them according to your mood and personality, choosing from an assortment of email backgrounds, animations, 3D effects, E-cards, sounds, and make them all become part of your email – not attachments.

One of the things I really like about IncrediMail is that it offers a collection of flash notifiers that will announce the arrival of new mail and add life to your desktop. In the new updated version which was released yesterday, the major change incorporated into it was the addition of a new desktop icon.

One thing you need to note is that IncrediMail is adware, upgrading will only cancel the ads, but if you can stand the ads, you can enjoy IncrediMail for free. Why pay $30 for no ads? You can go for the free version, it’s up to you.

Face it, who really reads the EULA’s ( End User License Agreement) in software they install? Most of us just scroll ahead and click “Accept”. But it’s something we all should do because if we don’t, we can eventually wind up with all kinds of spyware on our computers that could lead to serious problems.This program analyses the EULA and picks out suspicious text in it, letting you know if there’s anything you don’t want to agree to, such as installing adware or transmitting personally identifiable information etc.

A useful tool for anyone who cares about their privacy and doesn’t fancy going to law school in order to figure out what the five minutes of reading an EULA just meant!

Its free, get it here.
