Free Onscreen Ruler

On occasion I’ve needed the ability to keep track of my location on the screen.  Since I have multiple screens, that typically involved me putting my finger on one screen while clicking or typing on another screen. 

Along time ago I had a small utility which puts a ruler on the screen which I could move around with my mouse.  This was a fantastic utility and very useful.  Today I went looking and found someone wrote a different program which does what I wanted even better.  A Ruler for Windows was written by Rob Latour and available at http://www.arulerforwindows.com/

Here’s my step-by-step installation guide for this utility:

SNAGHTML273e86

SNAGHTML27648c

SNAGHTML2784c9

The installation was so fast, I wasn’t able to get a progress screen… LOL

Once finished, I’ve launched the application and see this. Now I can have my bank website up on one screen and my Quicken money software up on the other screen… and quickly/easily reconcile my accounts.  Thanks Rob!
