Adjusting the size of windows in the operating system is not difficult, but those who are just starting to master the computer may have some difficulties. Let's look at this task using the example of Windows XP and Windows 7.
Instructions
Step 1
Move the cursor over any edge of the window. It doesn't matter what it will be: left, right, bottom or top. The cursor will become a double-headed arrow. Now hold down the left button and move the mouse to the desired side. If you drag the mouse inside the window, it will decrease, if outward, on the contrary, it will increase. If you need to resize two faces at once, move the cursor to the edge of the window. The cursor will become a diagonal double-headed arrow. As in the previous case, hold down the left mouse button and drag the mouse in the required direction.
Step 2
Here it is worth explaining that in Windows XP there is a separate setting for adjusting the window size, and in Windows 7 the window dimensions are saved immediately after the change. That is, whatever section you open using a standard explorer, its window will take the form of the previous window.
Step 3
Consider the case of Windows XP. Open the Folder Options menu. This can be done in several ways. Each of them will begin by opening the control panel: click the "Start" button on the taskbar and in the window that appears, select "Control Panel". Now about the methods. First - click on the main menu item "Tools" -> "Folder options". Second - if the items in the control panel are displayed by categories, click on "Appearance and Themes", and then "Folder Options". Third - if the items on the control panel are located in the classic view, double-click on "Folder Options".
Step 4
In the window that opens, click on the "View" tab and find the "Advanced options" list, it takes up most of the window. This list contains the item "Remember the display options for each folder", put a tick next to it. To save the changes made, click on the "Apply" button, and then OK. In a similar way, the sizes of not only directories, but also programs are changed: players, games, browsers, editors, etc.
