The program will then run and make a copy of the photo but it will be resized, your original photo will remain unchanged. If you look at the pic below you may notice that the smaller pic has teh size you selected as part of its name.

I have XP, but I still use Irfanview.. I have for a couple of years, It's easy and Free. I also have photoshop-6 but don't know how to use it...

Well this resizer is FREE and EASY and is a simple right mouse click away.

But always use software that you are comfortable with.... ;)

Irfanview is free, and it is easy also. I've used it for 3 years now, almost daily, and wouldn't be without it. I have not looked at the one you are referring to, but I might check it out to see if it has as much to offer as Irfanview does. My first thoughts are, however, that if it is from Microsoft, it probably doesn't match up to Irfanview, but that's just a guess. An educated guess, LOL! ;)

In looking back over your initial post, you show that it offers 3 sizes to choose from. Irfanview lets you resize infinitely (well, maybe not quite), using either measurements, percentage of original (+ or -), or pixels, as well as the format you wish to use, GIF, TIFF, jpeg, etc.

I'm game to try something new....who know's what's better or easier to use...
