I would like to make the pop up window default sizes to be wider - I have to manually stretch  them eery time. For example, when you have to browse for a file and you use long file names, you can't read the last half of the name. I would also like it to default to details rather than list?See >this thread<.I don't think the OP was referring to IE windows.
Do you MEAN the file requester type windows etc?Whoops!  You're quite right.

Hmm...  I had a little plugin that used to do this on Win98.  What O/S are you using, lsoul?Open a folder, stretch it to where you want it then choose...
Windows Explorer>Tools>Folder Options>View
Screw around in there for a bit, it's typical windows double speak but if you click a few buttons it will remember the settings for all the folders.Yes, it is the pop up windows - say to select a file - that is in QUESTION. I use win XP SP2. So, it is not explorer windows I am referring to. But file save as, for example or in progs asking you to browse to or select a file through a pop up window. I would suspect that this is a registry edit to accomplish this?
Thank you for your input everybody.I believe WinBatch has provision for changing the appearance and SIZE etc of dialogue boxes and other window metrics.
