I put my own email address in my Oulook Exoress address book. When I want to resize a picture , I just send it to myself . My Outlook Exoress will bring up a pop up window asking me if I want to down size the pics I want to send . I click on YES , and it automatically resizes them to a smaller size for me . Then I send the email to myself . When I get the email back , I just save the pics to My Documents until I want to make use of them . I do not know if everyones version of Outlook Express does this , but mine does . It sure saves a lot of time in not have ing mess around with them
