Are you looking for an easy way to resize photos? Try this on for size but before you get excited, it only works with Windows XP, sorry Vista users. Simply scroll down the page to download and install Image Resizer. This small 521kb gadget is a must have in my toolbox and easy to use without opening an editor program.
1. Right click on any photo or graphic file to bring up the Resize Pictures option.

2. Choose one of the defaulted options or use the advanced tab for customized resizing. When the resized photo is saved, the file name remains the same and is differentiated as (small) etc. in parenthesis.

Enjoy!

I use the Resizer and absolutely love it. It's free, easy to use and so convenient.
Great post. Thanks for the information. Not all of us have photoshop handy. It's great to be able to do it without expensive software.
Vickie - Great, it is a wonderful tool.
Charlotte - I hope you find it as useful as I do.
Debbe, thanks for the tip
Bill - You're welcome
Decent tip although it doesn't allow for the option to optimize your images for the web and allowing the option to change to 8mpx. Easy to use tool for the non-photoshop user. I also suggest paintshop pro or gimp btw, both of which are free and can get the job done just as well as photoshop.
Castellum - Good point about optimization. I'll check out gimp. Thanks.
