[Tip] Make the "Run" dialog box wider

By default, the Windows "Run" dialog box is not wide enough to show long text. With AlomWare Toolbox, you can now have it always open wider:



The setting is located here: "Tweaks for your PC > Windows > Make the Windows 'Run' box wider to show more text".



Once you go wide, you'll never go back! ;D

Can confirm. I never knew I needed this! The default width is positively tiny and useless, especially when pasting long text in it.

And in conjunction with the tip to make the Run box open in the middle of the desktop, it's even more brilliant :)

I just saw today that the Run box from the Task Manager isn't wide when this setting is on. Can that be done?

Good catch! I just added this for the next update, but it'll only work if AlomWare Toolbox is run as admin because the Task Manager is admin.
