RESIZING FIND COLUMNS

When you use the Windows Find (Files or Folders) command, it will come up with a list of items matching your request in columns that are labeled Name, In Folder, Size, Type, and Modified. This is much like the Details view of Windows Explorer. It is often the case that the In Folder column is not wide enough to contain the entire path name of each found item, because the column width is too small. An easy way to resize this column so that it will display the widest path name in your list is this: place your mouse cursor exactly on top of the division line in the column header bar between the In Folder column and the Size column. When your mouse is placed correctly, the cursor will be changed into a cross with arrows on either side. Now double click on this division line. This same technique can be used with any other header bar column divider line.
