Ever get frustrated because the Reference dialog (menu: Project-References) was not wide enough to show the complete file path and name?

With this Resource Hacker you can edit those types of dialogs.

Download, install and start the Resource Hacker.
Open the VB6IDE.Dll in your VB6 program folder.

From the list on the left side, select "Dialog" and then seach for resource #4040

On the right side you can change the dialog (you have to click once to select, and then click again holding the mouse button in order to resize or move a control).

I put all the command buttons on the left side and widened the list window and file path label.

Then save the file (make sure the VB-IDE isn't running, otherwise it will not save and will not say it couldn't save)
 

Forgot to say that before saving, you need to click on the command button "Compile Script
