performing this action. Create an associate in the Folder Options control
panel" how do I create the associate. It use to downsize. I do not know

===================================
Maybe the following command will help:

go to...Start / Run and type
(or copy/paste):

"REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL"
(without the quotes)(Yes, there's
a space between 2 and S)

Click...OK.

A dialog box should report the following:

"DllRegisterServer in SHIMGVW.DLL succeeded"

===

Maybe the following info will help you create
a file association:

Have a look at this article:

(307859) HOW TO: Change File Associations
in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=307859

More info:

Try this...open an image folder and right click one
of your image files...from the menu, select...Open
With / Choose Program.

Make your choice from the list or Browse to the
correct program if it is not in the list.

If you want the default...choose..."Windows
Picture and Fax viewer"

Once you make your selection...be sure to check
the box that says: "Always use the selected program
to open this kind of file". (you will need to do this
for each format....jpg, .tif, .gif...etc.)

Also...you can right click an image and choose
Properties / Change Button...choose the program
you wish to use and click...OK / Apply / OK.

Also...in WinXP, you can go to...My Computer /
Tools / Folder Options / File Types tab...

And the following links may be useful:

And, here's a free PowerToy that is quite
useful for resizing pictures:

OK, go to the following link and download and
install: ImageResizer.exe

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.

First thing to try would be:
Click on Start and click on Run. In the opening textbox, type in the
following:
REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL
and press the Enter key.
Note that there is a space between ..32 and SHI..
This will take a second to run and you should get a "success" message.
Then try again.
If this does not solve the problem come back and tell us so.
It may also be that the way you created the downsize before is not via the
edit click.
