Changing Image Size

I have taken a bunch of pictures with a digital camera at a very high
resolution. Each picture is almost 2MB in size. Obviously these are not an
ideal size for emailing to friends and family. Does anyone know of an
application in which i can easily adjust the size of the photos reducing the
file size. So far I have been using a graphics program and editing each
picture individually. I am looking for something a little less time consuming
as I have about 200+ pictures that I need to adjust.

Thanks

====================================
If you right click an image file and choose...
Send To / Mail Recipient...you should see a
dialog that asks if you wish to make your
pictures smaller. If you click yes...a new e-mail
message with the the resized file attached
should appear.

Also there's a free powertoy you can download
that can do a batch resize. OK, go to the following
link and download and install: ImageResizer.exe

http://tinyurl.com/36n

Then you can open any folder that contains
images and you will have an option to resize.
Just right click the selected image files and
choose Resize Pictures from the menu. You
can select one image or a whole group.

The program will place the resized copies in
the folder with your originals.
(Tip: *Never* overwrite your originals)

To insure that images in both portrait and
landscape orientation are resized to the
same dimensions...go to...Advanced...
and enter the largest number in both fields.
IOW...for 600x800...enter 800 in both fields.

Also...here are some free programs that
you may find to be useful:
