Vista picture resizer. Handy for uploading correct size pics on forums.

Unlike XP which has a very handy one click resizer (XP powertoys for windows add on)
Seems they forgot this for Vista.

One quite quick way round this is to click one or however many pics using the Ctrl key.(in your photo viewer)
Then hit email tab near the top, (this opens outlook) Choose the size (medium)

In the new mail window that is now open, (you don't need to send them anywhere) but simply copy all the pic attachments & paste them back into the album they came from (but create a new subfolder - suggest "websize")

Now you're ready to upload these new resized pics to a web page or a forum.
There are of course many Pic resizer programmes about, but the above method saves opening more applications & is quick.
