A neat program I used occasionally seems to have disappeared, and I'm
trying to find it again. I could right-click a JPG filename in an
Explorer or My Computer folder and amongst the many menus items there
was one that said something like 'Resize with xxxx'.

So far, trawling through my graphics programs, I've not been able to
identify and re-install it. Does it ring a bell with anyone please?

I found the program a short time later:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
"Image Resizer
This PowerToy enables you to resize one or many image files with a
right-click."

But, even after re-installing it, I still don't get that option in my
r-click menu.

Any ideas anyone?

You may have to return the picture file type (.jpg, .jpeg, .bmp etc)
back to the default Windows program for this Microsoft powertoy to work.

Thanks, Now sorted. I got the solution after extensive googling, which
turned up the following:

http://aumha.org/a/powertoy.php
"NOTE: MS-MVP Alex Nichol pointed out that Image Resizer may not work
if you have disabled image preview in Windows XP. If you encounter
this problem, the usual repair is to type the following from a command
prompt: REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL"

Anyway, duly applied, and delighted to have Resize back again.

I wonder if it was somehow a casualty with all that business recently
over the 'WMF exploit'?
