some windows are now resizable that normally aren't or weren't
all of the sudden some of my pop up dialogs and other windows are now
resizable that normally aren't or weren't. this is annoying as i now i have to drag the corner of the window to increase its size to display the dialog buttons, is there a fix ? -- Woodzy http://www.rtdos.com (alt OS for games based on the classics) http://q.webring.com/hub?ring=acfwebring ( un-official alt.comp.freeware webring ) |

After you drag to resize, close with the file menu instead of the red X and
then reopen. The windows should hold the new size. -- Colin Barnhorst [MVP Windows - Virtual Machine] (Reply to the group only unless otherwise requested) "(ProteanThread)" wrote in message ... all of the sudden some of my pop up dialogs and other windows are now resizable that normally aren't or weren't. this is annoying as i now i have to drag the corner of the window to increase its size to display the dialog buttons, is there a fix ? -- Woodzy http://www.rtdos.com (alt OS for games based on the classics) http://q.webring.com/hub?ring=acfwebring ( un-official alt.comp.freeware webring ) |

In previous versions of Windows, when you closed the window you had to
hold down either the ctrl or shift key (it's been so long I cannot remember which) to make the resize stick. "*ProteanThread*" wrote in message oups.com...

The windows should hold the new size. Does not work. I also mean, that windows or popups that normally one size or another now require me to drag corners to show buttons. Windows sets the default restored size on closing for opening, if you hold down the Ctrl key while clicking the red [x] button in the upper right corner of the window. The three buttons at the top right of a window are initially controlled through the shell, which then feeds the command to the application. The File-Close dropdown menu is not (except for shell apps, such as Explorer). Whether the window holds it size that way depends upon the inclination of the app. Some apps will ignore the default restored size setting on opening. Joe Earnest |

It is CTRL-red X or close from the File menu.
