You need to edit the CSS (cascading Style Sheet) file for whichever skin you are using and set the table widths to teh size you want.

The CSS files are fiond the in css_style directory.

It would be in the defualt_style.css file for whichever skin you are using. Look in this file for all instances of width: 98%:-

.basicTable{
    text-align: left;
    border: 0px;
    width: 98%;
}

That should be it. Make sure that you browser isn't caching the CSS file. IE is bad at this and you need to do a hard refresh (CTRL -> F5)
