I need to widen some properties windows/dialogs in Windows 7 to be able to read some very long paths.
How can I do this?
Thanks!
PS: I have already tried ResizeEnable and AuthoHotKeys, and let's just say that I do not want to use them again, ever. Please do not recommend them.

Cannot you drag window side by mouse to view full path? – Asif – 2012-06-14T13:01:23.673
If it's a long path, try highlighting it with the cursor and moving your cursor to the right, like you're selecting text. That's worked for me on occasion. – cutrightjm – 2012-06-14T13:16:15.507
@Asif: no (try it, you'll see) – kjo – 2012-06-14T16:10:58.590
@ekaj: I'd be happy to accept your comment if you post it as an answer. (Granted, your comment does not answer the question as I asked it, strictly speaking, but it gets "to the heart of the matter".) – kjo – 2012-06-15T14:17:16.973
Only accept it if it works. – cutrightjm – 2012-06-15T16:26:56.430
