Yes, you can resize the picture first. Then when you send your e-mail, you
compose the e-mail and then you click on Insert on your top bar, Picture,
From file and you navigate to the resized file to select it.
Two ways of doing this as given below. The first way may not work for you
(because of the failure of regs...)
but the second way (Irfanview) will work.
However, you are missing the letter R in your command and this may be the
problem. It is:
REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL
so try this again first
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.
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 editing software from here to resize
pictures and edit photos:
