Default resize drop-down menu

Validation property of several cells is set to "list" and "drop-down", where
there are a LOT of options on the drop-down menu.

Is it possible to increase the size of the mini-window that opens when the
drop-down menu is activated, so that more options are shown at the same time?

You can't change the number of items visible in the data validation
dropdown. If you can use programming, there are instructions here for
using a combobox to overlay a cell with data validation:

In the combobox, you can change the ListRows property
