Quickly resizing photos with Windows Vista - Video Tip

Web designers, eBay sellers, and other folks who need to quickly and painlessly resize large digital photos had an excellent option in Windows XP. (See our tip: An Easier Way to Resize Your Digital Photos). However, that little utility doesn't work any longer with Windows Vista. I've devised a little workaround that works, albeit not perfect. Here's how:

1. Open the folder where the photos you want to resize reside
2. Select the photos to resize (remember Ctrl+Click)
3. Click the Email button on the toolbar
4. You will get a dialog box asking you what size you want to make the photos
5. Click OK
6. An email will open in a few seconds with the resized photos attached to the email
7. Switch back to your open picture folder
8. Create a new folder to house the resized photos (unless the originals are expendable)
9. Position the email and the picture folder so you can see both
10. Select the photos from the email
11. Drag them to the awaiting folder
