Msconfig window size

Is it just me or is there no way to adjust the size of the MSCONFIG window?
I find it rather annoying to have to move the columns in order to see
everything. Placing the cursor on the edge of the window never results in
the normal double-ended arrow used for resizing.

Someone posted a link to this progam, ResizeEnable, in one of
these newsgroups recently. I've used it a few times with no
problems.

Here's the direct download link:
http://www.digitallis.co.uk/pc/downloads/ResizeEnable.zip

Whenever you come across a window that you can't resize, run
this program and you'll get those double sided arrows to
appear. Once you're done you can right click the icon which
sits in the notification area and select Quit from the menu to
close the program.

I agree with you, but I haven't been able to resize the msconfig window -
very 'annoying'!!
