Dear Group, dear son installed a little program on his computer to allow
default window sizes to be altered, which he did. He then deleted the
program and has now found that he cant resize the window at all.

I suspect that the new value has been added to the registry, but which
specific key controls the "Save As" window size?

Many Thanks

Martin

Hi Martin,

Any idea which problem that was? May have installed File-Ex
(http://www.cottonwoodsw.com/) and then removed it?

Did he uninstall the program completely, or simply deleted the program's
executable?

No, he cant remember the programs name at all. I tried the one you
mentioned but it wasn't any help i'm afraid.

Is the window size set by a registry entry?

Martin

You can use the Open Wide program to set the size of these dialog windows as well as other attributes.

OpenWide - by Lingo:
