I have an issue with the shortcut box. It won't resize. I try to drag the edges to resize it, the mouse changes to the double-arrow, but dragging any edge in sketch, part, assembly, or drawing won't resize the box. If I add more buttons to the box, it just adds them to the bottom of my 1 column box. I've added about 20 buttons to see if it would change, but had no luck. I have also tried deleting every button and re-adding; no avail. Any suggestions? If not, how can I reset the S-menu to default without affecting other shortcuts/settings? If it helps, I'm using SW09 with a certified graphics card. Restarting Solidworks and/or the computer doesn't help. Reinstalling is not an option, and the same issue exists in all files.

The size can only be changed while in the Customize mode.

As far as I know, there is no way to reset just the S toolbar.
When the S key toolbar is in Customize mode, I have always been able to grab an edge to resize.

Do you have a multi monitor setup?
I've seen issues with this if the SolidWorks window is not on the main screen. When on a second monitor I've noticed problems with resizing Shortcut box and adding items to toolbars or Command Manager which seems to take longer.
Other Options Do other people have this issue to or just on your pc. You can use Copy Settings Wizard to import your settings on a co-worker's pc *Be sure to save a copy of theirs first so you don't screw up their customizations then try changing S key pop-up box's size then import the settings back to your PC.

Yes! I always run SolidWorks on my secondary monitor, but moving the application to the main monitor let's me change the size! Thank you!
Now, I can change size, add or subtract features, but I put the fastening feature onto the shortcut bar, but now it won't let me delete it. I can delete other icons in the same bar, but not the fastener feature. If I add more fastener features to the same box, it just adds more, it won't let me delete them, no matter how many I have. Any ideas?
