Yes it does basic resizing. There are third party apps that give you a lot
more control over resizing though.

So I guess the XP feature to "make my pictures smaller to email" is a
resizing tool??

By their nature, pictures are already compressed. Zipping them will make
little difference.

| Thanks for pointing me to the Compressed (Zipped) Folders in Windows XP
| option. I don't seem to be getting much of a size difference, however,
when
| I send pictures there.
|
| For example, at home where I use Outlook Express, I click on a picture
that
| is 1.8 MB and select "email this file" and then choose to "make my
picture
| smaller." When it gets attached to my blank email screen, the picture
is
| now 27 KB which is quite a space saver.
|
| However, when I right click on that same 1.8 MB photo and choose to
send
it
| to a compressed folder and then choose to email that folder, it is only
down
| to 1.35 MB in size. Not exactly the help my son was looking for when
trying
| to make the pictures smaller to email.
|
| Am I missing something????
