| QuickResXP (Windows 2000 And Later) |
QuickRes was originally developed by Microsoft as a program to quickly change resolution from the system tray. Since a majority of the operating interface code changed when Windows NT was deployed, the program was rewritten for Windows NT by David McCabe. Both McCabe's and Microsoft program are nearly identical, but lacked full usability and some features. I developed QuickResXP to address some of the features I felt QuickRes and QuickResNT lacked. Despite the name, QuickResXP will run of both Windows 2000 and later NT-based operating systems. QuickResXP is written in C++ using standard windows libraries.
