Sure this is a windows thingy. How can I have AutoCAD dialog boxes to keep to the last resized size when that function is opened again? Say I right-click on a file in my SHEETSET MANAGER to the PROPERTIES, it opens the files properties dialog box. Then I have to spread the columns to view the full path. Next time I do same to another file, I still have to spread the columns wider for better view. With fifty six sheets, it is very tiresome.

Sometimes, WINDOWS EXPLORER, a dialog box would be opened about three-quarter way to the bottom of the monitor.

Where do I set these up?

It may not do everything you want but try the shareware version of Quikpik (http://www.manusoft.com/software/quikpik.html).
It allows resized dialogue boxes and has many other good features.

There is a Windows trick I use. Hold the Shift key down when closing the dialog. It should return to its size and position the next time. Most dialogs will work by just clicking the corner X, but it looks like the SSM Props wants you to hit the OK button. Good luck.
