> resizable cmd window

A couple of people have referred to this, but I've been resizing CMD windows for over a decade. Maybe you mean you couldn't increase the width by dragging, only via a dialog?

When I try to maximise the the Cmd window, this[0] is the best that is achievable without custom apps. This is regardless of using either the horizontal resize handles or the Window Size properties.

Click the icon in the upper left, then go to Properties | Layout | Window Size. The size is measured in characters.

It's rather inconvenient, though.

Nitpick: first you need to increase the "Screen Buffer Size" width, then you can change the Window Size width too.

Huh, this worked -- wow, TIL, thanks! (You would still have to pry Cmder out of my cold dead Windows 7 hands though...)
