How do I reduce the size of the File->Options window?

How do I reduce the size of the File->Options window?

Somewhere along the way, I increased the size of the window that pops up when you execute a

File->Options->Options

from the ribbon.

When I do this, it brings up the usual cascading list of main options, sub options, etc. But, annoyingly, the window I see is so wide that the actual selections are pushed off the main screen. What I find when I attempt the normal Windows thing of grabbing the side of the window and moving inwards is that it doesn't allow this. I can make the window larger in the horizontal direction, but it will not get smaller.

Anyone know if this is something i can adjust via a .ui file of some sort, or do I need to access the registry to fix it? In the old days I'd be able to hit the registry and find where this window is getting its initial size specs, nowadays we're locked away from such things.

You should be able to resize the window by following this selection sequence:

That doesn't really do anything different. When I click on the Size option a quad arrow cursor appears, but nothing behaves any differently than what I was already experiencing. This bloody window is somehow immune to horizontal size reduction.

Just to be clear, using the arrow keys to resize the window after selecting the Size option only allows me to make the window larger in the horizontal direction, not smaller.

I got into the registry and looked for window sizing specifications for this and found...nothing. I don't know where this setting is stored. I suspect the only way I could fix this is to completely remove Creo and re-install it. Maybe that will work. Maybe not.

This topic has been dead for a while, so I don't hold out much hope for a solution here. Maybe I should re-post a new topic?
