Resize your Columns in Explorer

Do the columns in Windows Explorer or 'My Computer' show you everything? If not, David Dorn has the answer

Explorer - truncated filenamesQuite often, when you're navigating your hard disk(s) in Details view, you'll see what's known as ellipses (three dots - '...') following an entry in the 'name' column of the file view. What they mean is that there's more information to be had.

Rather than manually re-size your columns so that you can see what's there, all you need to do is hold down the CTRL key and tap the numeric keypad plus key '+'. As if by magic, your columns will resize so that the longest entry in the 'Name' (or any other) column will fit. It doesn't matter than you can't necessarily see the longest entry - it's all automatic.
