"IDEA: " Auto Fit for Explorer windows
« on: December 26, 2007, 09:10 PM »
Howdy,

Glad to be here!  ;D

I've found it most annoying for a long time to go into Win Explorer and many many other programs and find all the columns overlapping themselves hiding the names of my files and other details. Ctr + (numb+) works to straighten it all out but I would be very much happier if this were automatic.

I have been looking for a long time and am shocked this isn't a common utility. Only now I have discover that this function is called in some cases "Auto-fit". I would also like to see "Details" view at all times in a "Save File As" dialog and similar dialogs.
Can ya help me?

I'm a big fan of FileBox eXtender as well.
