How to resize a window so it is larger than the physical screen?

I want to resize a window so it is larger than the physical screen, possibly using free software. I intend to use a GNU software, gvwm, to navigate the different parts of the big window.

Description of gvwm:

gvwm provides grid of virtual desktops for Windows, allowing the user's workspace to be larger than the screen area.The practical upshot is that you can have several "desktops", allowing you to sort your windows and have a less cluttered workspace.

The windows I`d like to enlarge could be a browser window, office document, jpg viewer, etc.

I have searched for a registry tweak, and searched for a virtual desktop manager, but found nothing yet.

I hope somebody can help me. Thanks!

I'm not sure what I am missing here, but you can drag the window to the bottom corner of the screen, resize it and repeat.

1It seems the product page for ScreenSpace is no longer functional. Also, the answer was 5 years ago. Is there another alternative and verified on Windows 10? – some user – 2016-11-30T23:18:05.243

I thought that would be the answer as well, but when I tried it myself on an XP machine the tested window (an Explorer window) would not resize larger than what I assume is my monitor resolution. – JAB – 2011-05-25T19:38:06.643

Hmm, odd. Take a look and ScreenSpace ( http://www.dandeware.com/products/ ) . It's an application designed for netbooks made by a user here on SU ( http://superuser.com/users/36561/emmanuel ). He's offered users licenses before so worth a shot :)

Thank you all. I installed Screensapce lite, and it accomplishes the same thing I thought i would need two softwares to do: gvwm and a "window resizer" – oscar – 2011-05-26T17:59:50.327
