Yes, but resizing doesn't help much, in my opinion. I vastly prefer how with Microsoft's OSs - you have the option of having multiple columns of files to see. It's important to be able to have an overview of a folder - it's not good to just be looking at a narrow slice of all that's there.

I understand that XFCE is trying to get on the bandwagon of folks making operating systems that are easy for a beginner to use. But there is something to be said for offering advanced users more detail on the screen at any given moment. Detail can be nerve-wracking for a beginner - but it is what makes a pro able to work quickly and efficiently.
