Sizer is a free lightweight Windows utility that allows you to resize any active window on your desktop. It's a very useful tool for web designers. You can get it at Sizer. Unfortunately, at the time this article was written, it will not work under Windows Vista.

If you have not already done so, download and install Sizer. After installing sizer, run it and put a check in the following configuration items at the bottom of the window (if it's not already checked). Show tooltip when resizing windows. Show Sizer icon in system tray

Add Sizer item to system menu. Click the "Add" button. A duplicate configuration of the currently selected resolution profile is created. Enter the following values into the appropriate boxes. Each time you finish one resolution profile, click the "Add" button again for the next one. Don't bother to add resolutions that are larger than your current screen resolution, though. You also don't need to add your current screen resolution, since you can simply maximize your browser to obtain that.
