- Thanks to student Tony Pierce, who showed me the
following...
When you're in an MMC Management Console, or Windows Explorer, that has
columns in the details pane you can hit CTRL + + (hold CTRL, then hit "+"
twice in a row) and it will magically expand every column in the details
pane to fit the maximum value in any column. This was one of the few
remaining reasons which required a "rodent" (mouse). Thanks, TonyP!
