With Datacad closed, in your dcadwin.ini file, under the [SymbolBrowser] section, check to see what DockWidth= is set to. If it has a value, try reducing it, save the INI file and then restart Datacad to check.

Josh,
Thanks for the information.

The key i actually needed to change was in the [TemplateWindow] section.
Somehow i missed it while looking through all the section of the INI file yesterday.
The Width key was blank. [Width=]
Changed it to [Width=200] and it is perfect.
It took a few trys to get the number I wanted.

The [SymbolBrowser] key DockWidth was also blank.
While I was in there i adjusted it as well.

Thank you for the quick response and assistance,
John R.
