Changing the Default Behavior of Double-clicking to Maximize

[MR-KEN]

By default, when you double-click on a windows title bar, it will maximize
the window both vertical and horizontally. Is there a way to change this
behavior so that it only expands vertically? I didn't see any thing in the
XP Power Toys TweakUI, so I'm wondering if there is some reg hack.

Interesting. What I am trying to accomplish is possible when using the
Command Prompt Window, so why not with regular windows? There must be some
process that tells the window to expand both vertically and horizontally
when a double-click is executed in the Title Bar, so why not just tell it to
only expand vertically?

Anyway, thanks for the response. I'll try to look for a 3rd party add-on
solution.

Hi,

It is possible when using the Command Prompt Window. However, you can set
the properties of the Command Prompt Window by following steps below:

1. Click Start, click Run, type "cmd" without the quotation marks, and
press OK.
2. Right-click on the left-upon conner, and click Properties.
3. Select Font tab and you can choose the Size here.

However, other Windows are unable to be changed via this method. If you
have any questions in the future, please feel free to post back!

Have a nice day!
