Can't resize Folder properties window

Question

I've opened the properties window of a folder to view it's security groups, but the security group names are too long to be fully readable in the security tab.

There is no way to resize the window.

Is there a logical purpose for this, or is it just designed to be a complete pain in the ass.

Happens on Win Server 2003, and Windows 7.

Answer 1

There is sort of a question in your post, but the answer to that question doesn't really help you or anybody, so I am going to answer the question: "How do I resize a window that Windows won't let me resize?"

The answer is the WinMove function in AutoHotKey:

Install the app, then create a script script.ahk bind a key to resize a window like so:

^`::
WinMove, A,,,, W, H
Return

Where W and H are the desired width and height of the window in pixels. Run the script, focus on the properties window that you wish to resize, and hit ctrl+` (the tilda key).
