Hi, today I am having difficulty with links opening in small boxes. They wont
resize and they will only drag to a point. Not nearly enough to even get to
the Post Button.
Try using the Tab key to get to the button? <eg>
Try using Task bar commands instead?
E.g. right-click on the window's taskbar button
and click on Size. That will turn your pointer into a four headed arrow
which will allow you to resize the window by dragging. (Or just use your
keyboard's cursor keys instead.)
Alternatively, use the Task bar's Cascade windows command.
Minimize all windows you don't want involved in the resizing operation.
Or minimize *all* windows with Win-D and then Restore only the one(s)
you want to resize.
Once the windows have been resized you might want to change
their shape with some more conventional window resizing,
e.g. either by dragging or by pressing Alt-Space,S + some cursor key
(e.g. CursorDown) and repeat until the window is the shape you want;
then press Enter to terminate the Size operation.
I got lucky on this Post and have tried 3 times prior to attempt the same
Post. Is there a setting somewhere I need to re-set? Also, when I tried to
Maximize, Explorer Bar went totally blank,
Did you hit F11 accidentally (aka Fullscreen toggle)?
If so, press it again to undo that command.
then all my post's I had tried to
do, tiled and in different sized boxes.
For the same reason that you minimize all windows before using
the taskbar's Cascade windows command you should minimize
all windows before using its Tile... commands. E.g. you probably
would only want a few windows tiled with each invocation. Also, note
that tiling a single window has the useful property of maximizing
its normal mode size.
Maybe yesterdays update did this?
If you use the Tile command in an inappropriate state so that your
windows are all reduced to tiny unusable sizes and then you close
them in those sizes that is the size which will be remembered the next
time they are opened. Therefore, if you get in this state again,
try using the Cascade windows command before closing any
tiny windows.
Thanks for your thoughts and input. Maybe I won't have to throw PC out the
nearest window.
