Tiny little ridiculously small "keyhole" ("a**hole" more like) browse/file input boxes in Windows, why can't they at least be resizeable?
The height of absurdity is reached with Windows environment variable setting, specifically for PATH, where you get only one line to struggle with a huge long string of pathnames. Why on Earth can't they have a more user-friendly table-based input form for PATH?
And in File Explorer, there are acres of blank space to the right, but file names longer than about five characters are truncated.
I'll stop now, before I get really carried away - Whole books have been written about Windows Annoyances.
