Resize windows in Win98

[AmericanMan]

How do you resize windows that do not have resizing controls? Appearance menu under Settings does not have a control for every window. Progman under Win3.11 could manipulate the unaccessible windows sizing.

Can resizing be done through the regedit?
If it can, then how?

Thank You

Maybe this is what you're looking for: It increases the size of open and save dialogs.

I know there used to be a shortcut for minimizing, maximizing, resizing. Look it up.

OK, I knew there had to be a way to do this and here it is: ironically enough, the setting you want isn't in the Display Properties Appearance tab, it's in the Display Properties SETTINGS tab under FONTS. You need to increase your font size here, which will resize all the fonts on your system GLOBALLY including the ones used for Buttons and dialog tabs that you can't change in the appearance tab. This in turn will make the whole dialog bigger and easier to read.

I'm using Windows 95 at work and I can't remember how the 98 Dialog is setup, but it might be under the advanced button. On Win95 it's listed under a FONTS drop down box. This is definitely what you are looking for. Good Luck

However some dialog boxes are fixed size and cannot be modified.
