A list and brief description of some freeware utilities
provided by Lee Alexander
Most of the utilities listed are available on popular download sites such as TUCOWS, Cnet, PC Magazine, and PC World. My advice is to enter the utility name in a search engine (I recommend GOOGLE) and proceed from there, linking to an appropriate site for the download. The majority of original source files are compressed, so be prepared to "Unzip" them. The table lists the expanded utility as to the number of files and the aggregate size upon extraction.

| Rapid Resolution |
A very small program, it parks itself in the system tray and gives a one-click pop-up menu to select screen resolution, color depth, and refresh rate of the display. A lot faster and simpler than going to the Properties dialog box - but it will also take you there, if you wish. Another quickie operation is toggling the Screen Saver mode. |
