Image Resizing
A. To decrease the size of the file for e-mail, web publishing etc.
Go to this site and download the free Image Resizer. Exe file in one of your
folder.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp
Once in your folder, double click on it to install it.
Once installed, you right click on a photo file (or on a group of selected
photo files).
Click on Resize image on the opening menu.
A window will open, select the size you want.
New files will be added in your folder, same name as original file but with
the word (small) added.
The first time you use it, you may not see Resize image on the opening menu
after you right click on the file or if you see it, it may not work. If so,
do the following:
Click on Run, click on Start and type the following in the textbox:
REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL
and press the Enter key.
Note that there is a space between ...32 and SHI.
Also, you can download a free batch converter from here to resize pictures
and edit photos:

Also, if you send pictures with outlook express you should get an automatic
resize image.
Select the pictures you want to e-mail, look at the menu on the left of the
image files and click on send e-mail. A window should open offering to
resize the images. You click on it and then outlook express should open
automatically.
If you don't have this option, do the following:
Click on Start, click on Run and type the following in the textbox:
REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL
and press the Enter key.
Note that there is a space between ...32 and SHI...

Help, I seem to be constantly sending photos that are too large and clog
up my mail program. I use outlook express and send pictures from MY
Pictures. Can you please instruct me as to how to shrink them. After
going through all the menu options nothing seems to be appropriate.
