Something I just learned recently wrt column resizing on Windows,
double-click in the column separator will resize the column to the
maximum width of the data in the column, e.g. a double-click on the name
column will resize the column to the longest name in the list.
Apparently this has been around in Windows for a long time.
Once you start using it, you'll find it damn convenient!
