Resize pictures to send to phone

I want to make some pictures smaller (in terms of file size) for easier and
faster transfer to my mobile phone via Infra-Red.

The Microsoft site talks unhelpfully about using NFTS volumes but I don't
understand this... does anyone know a quick and easy way to make photo file
sizes smaller? (I know how to do this for emailing, via the option offered
automatically, just not for transfer to phone). Thanks
 
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 a photo file or if you see it and click on 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.

You should get a message after pressing the Enter key.



Also, you can download a free photo editing software from here to resize
pictures and edit photos:

Yves' solution is best, but you can also use the reduce-for e-mail
function by just copying the reduced file from the e-mail message before
it's sent, and then just cancelling the send process.
