windows xp picture resizer software

Power toys...

The image resizer is one of the XP Power toys... http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

The other one I use from time to time is the HTML Slide Show Wizard, ideal for quickly putting batches of digital pictures on the web.

Have fun,

Chris.
