Re: Resizing windows and Deleting status

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thanks Gene, neither one worked because there is only a close option in both the System Menu and the File Menu but you got me playing with it again. If you resize the window either horizontally or vertically using the double-arrows the size will not be remembered when you close the window, but I found that if you use the double-arrows and resize it diagonally it will be the new default size. I open the Programs and Features window (uninstall or change a program) from both the Start Menu and from Windows Explorer so I had to do the diagonal adjustment for both the Control Panel window and the Windows Explorer window.

Now if I can just figure out how to delete those pesky Canceled and Failed status lines!

For some programs, if you open the system menu (hidden on the upper left
frame of the window) and exit with Control-Exit, the program will remember
the size.

Or try the File menu, then Control-Exit.

Yes but that's just temporary, I'm wanting to resize it permanently so that
every time I open it it is the size I want.

I'm not really worried about them but there's just no use for them to be
there.

ad1) Just point the cursor on the side of the window frame until the
double arrow occurs, then drag the frame wider.
ad2) no idea - but I would not worry about them.
