send photos

[You Know Who ~]

I am using Win XP. I send pictures, and resize them, from Windows Explorer
(File, Send To, Mail Recipient).
I always then got the options to resize them (make files smaller), or not.
the default is a tiny size. Is there any way to change the default resizing
to 800x600?
TIA

Image Resizing



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. You can then use them for e-mail instead
of the original.



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.



Also, you can download a free photo viewing/editing software
www.faststone.org

From it you can directly e-mail a picture and it will automatically resize
it to a standard size you select. Probably the easiest to use.
