Hi:
I am e-mailing some of pictures to my friend.
However, I found the pictures are too large and barely fit to size. Even
some of them do not fit to the size of the screen, too large!

How to make picures normal-size, like 8 X 10 to fit nicely in the content of
my e-mail?
 
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) or (custom) 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 "success" message after pressing the Enter key.
 
If you have windows XP it will automatically re-size for you. If you use the
menu on the left of the window. Just select the photo and then click on Send
as Email. You will be asked if you want to reduce the size of the photo.
Follow the instructions from then on.
