To my work, this is the most useful feature in XP. What is the Vista
equivalent?

The only I know of in Vista is that Windows Photo Gallery will resize
pictures when you click on Email.... it will downsize the photo attachment.

There isn't a PowerToy that work with Vista which is a shame. However, all
is not lost as there's a free program that does very similar - and it's
free!

Have a look at http://www.vso-software.fr/products/image_resizer/

I have never used Windows image resizer, but IrfanView is a very nice
free image viewer/manipulation tool.

Irfanview is nice, but Image Resizer is beautiful for its simplicity.
There's no interface, only a menu item when you right-click on a the file
icon. My wife is professional photog and resizer is critical to her daily
workflow process for posting proofs online. She can resize 1000 jpegs in 2
clicks.

Wow - that is powerful. IrfanView does have a batch mode, but it is
definately more than 2 keystrokes away. Good luck!

You can download the Windows Live Photo Gallery Beta, it allows you to
resize images in batches (rather than going to send to e-mail like you need
to do at the moment).

http://get.live.com/wl/all (deselect any other programs you don't want).

I've got Photo Gallery but it's still a little cumbersome since you have to
open the app. Although it looks like it is actually the XP Powertoy in a new
form.

I'll try the VSO tool.
