For Windows XP users, there is a free add in power toy called "Image Resizer".
After install (very small prog) it adds a menu item when you right click an image stored on your pc.
It will allow you to resize to various sizes.
As a benefit, it reduces file size without much loss of image quality. That is very handy when emailing or uploading photos, makes the task much faster for everyone.
The program can be found on this page: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx
Just downloaded. It is as convenient as you said. Thanks!
