In general---no. It's long been one of Windows best-known annoyances.Though 
I believe there is a registry hack you can make if you want to delve into 
the registry. You might possibly find a script for it at Kellys Korner.

You can of course resize normal Explorer windows with the shift key, but 
not the dialogue boxes.

You will need  a 3rd-party utility to do this--many are listed here:

Only a couple of free ones, the rest are shareware. I use Openwide which 
seems to do the job OK, though it's not easy to understand how to set 
it--some trial and error may be required. It's very simple once you get the 
hang of it.  (Hint--use the "settings" button to resize). It needs to run 
at startup to be effective.
