That ODBC window has been there since about Win 3.1 I think. Watching those completely unresizeable forms pop up in the middle of my 1440p monitor is always amusing.

I can just see some guy coding that, thinking "why would it need to be bigger? It's practically the full screen!"

I'm not sure if regedit has changed much either, certainly seems like it's the same since using it in xp? Odbc windows are 100% 3.1 though.

Feel like task scheduler, event viewer and partitioning tools have been relatively static as well, but they're not as old as the odbc window. Tbh I'm not surprised that administrative/dev tools haven't had a ui change.
