I hope my input can help someone with the same type of problem in the future.
My problem – the Chrome browser “Save As” window somehow got stuck in a much too large position and the size could not be adjusted. By opening several other browsers (Firefox, MS Edge), I was able to confirm that this problem was ONLY related to the Chrome browser:
Thanks to ALL of the tips in this forum thread, I was able to do the following:
Using a text-to-hexadecimal converter, I found the settings in the Reg Edit CIDSizeMRU and LastVisitedPidIMRU sub-directories specifically related to the Chrome browser (“chrome” in hex is “63 68 72 6f 6d 65” - in the Reg Edit sub-directories, “00” is inserted between each of those number sets). These numbers are the first numbers in the Hex string.
I backed up (exported) both of these sub-directories
I then closed out of Chrome and uninstalled it
I then went back into the 2 Reg Edit sub-directories and deleted the entries specifically related to the Chrome browser
Then I closed out of Reg Edit, shut down the PC and re-started the PC
Last, I reinstalled Chrome on the PC
When I re-opened Chrome , the “Save As” window was back to a smaller size and the increase, decrease of the window size worked normally.
