Three great downloads for the week:

1. Zoom — With ZoomIt, you can use an assigned keyboard hotkey to quickly zoom to any portion of your screen. ZoomIt is a free download and a great tool for anyone who’s ever wished they could view the contents of their monitor in more detail. Learn more at http://tinyurl.com/2xv7eu.
2. Recover — The Asterisk Revealer download for Firefox lets you reveal the contents of ANY password field (you know, those fields where the text is hidden by a string of asterisks). My guess is that at some point in your online ventures you’ve stared at a line of asterisks on your screen wishing you could see through them, not remembering the password you chose … If my guess is right, download this tool and keep it around; it’ll likely come in handy for you in the future.

3. Resize — Ever run into a pop up window on the web that was too small? Did you try to resize it … but found it was too stubborn and wouldn’t budge? If so, the free Windows download, ResizeEnable, is the tool for you. It’s way tougher than those “no-we-won’t-let-you-resize-us” windows but just sits quietly in your system tray until you need it.
