Making resizing collums in MS Config 'stick'

[videobruce]

I have used MS Config for years being one (probably only other than 2000) of the better ideas from M$.
What I don't like is when I resize a collumn, it doesn't 'stick'. Namely the "Command" collumn under "Services" (too narrow), the "Manufacture" collumn under "Services" (way too wide) and the "Service" collumn (too narrow).

What I also would like to do is enlarge the window with the ability of remembering those changes.

I did come across a small program called Resize (or something like that), but that only allows resizing the program window one time. It won't remember the change and you have to have the this program running just to do that. That isn't any help.

Any ideas??

I doubt that (apart from hacking/reverse-engineering) there is anything that could be done.

I was afraid of that. I did a serach and found no solution, but was hoping someone had a handle on it.
I have a program ("Resource Hacker") that I haven't used for some time to edit the bitmaps in 'ntoskrnl.exe' to change the annoying M$ splash screen, but now with "Tune Up Utilities 2008" (2009 is too bloated), I have no need to do so since they have a far easier method.

A bitmap or some text in a known position in a file can be quite easily edited with a hex editor. Something that involves encoding requires the program to be reverse engineered and though this might sound simple it is a very imprecise "art" if you bear in mind that most executables of this sort have been compiled into machine code. If the creators of the program didn't design the program to be so customized there is little that can be done other than find an equivalent third party program built from the ground up that would do the same things; and I don't know of any.
