Sending Pictures as an attachment

[Guest]

I have grown quite used to selecting a group of .jpg files , right click,
send to -> mail recipent. I used to get a menu that would allow me to
resize the pictrues to any of 3 choices.

The problem is that this menu doesn't pop up anymore! Now it just jumps
right to the email window with the files I selected in there as attachments.
They are in their full size which is not acceptable. I don't really want to
have to go back to the stone age and manually resize and resave each picture
that I want to email! Please help!

FYI: In case you want to disable the resize dialog at a later stage, read below:

Example: For JPG files

1. Open Registry Editor and navigate to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.JPG

2. Backup the key by exporting it to a REG file.
3. In the right-pane, double-click Perceived Type and assign a blank data to it.
4. Close Registry Editor.

Similarly make changes for the other image file-types if necessary. Resize dialog does not appear and the default E-mail client opens directly with the image attachment. To regain the functionality, Undo the above action or type "regsvr32 shimgvw.dll" in Start/Run.
