I am familiar with this procedure being use with Outlook but I am not
familiar with Hotmail. To get you out of this jam, you can resize the
pictures first, then you open Hotmail and attach the picture to your
message. Not as convenient but it will work.
.. 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:
