MS Paint.

If you can't do it in MS Paint, it's not worth having.

Why Microsoft didn't put a context menu extension for "resize to screen" or "resize by half" or summit is beyond moi.

Anyway. This is even easier than irfanview. Set it to default to "half size" or summit useful.

With a bit of shagging around you can do the same with irfanview on the command line.

For example, to resize images with a max of 640 x 480

Save the following text as resize_640_480.cmd (in the c:\Program files\IrfanView\ directory)

@SET _oldfile=%1
@SET _extn=%_oldfile:~-5,-1%
@SET _newfile=%_oldfile:~1,-5%
@SET _newfile=%_newfile%_640w%_extn%

"c:\Program files\IrfanView\i_view32.exe" %_oldfile% /resize=(640,480) /aspectratio /convert="%_newfile%"


Right click on one of your jpegs. Choose "Open with", then select c:\Program files\IrfanView\resize_640_480.cmd

There you go...right click resizing.

irfanview is good.

xnview (http://pagesperso-orange.fr/pierre.g/xnview/enhome.html)is another program which will do this and it's equally magnificent.
