    you could try opening them in mspaint, and then Image - Stretch & Skew, and tell it to make it 50% and 50%.

    that's my usual shrinking method

    What I use I found free on the web and have been using it for a few years. Works a charm.

    Download it here...

    I just download it to an out of the way folder, no installation necessary, and set up a shortcut to it on my desktop. You can resize images with it according a number of different criteria, even flip and rotate them if you so desire.

    Hope it helps.

    This is a great lil freeware tool and very easy to use. Just open in it and it has a short drop down menu and resize is right on there. You have to have pics to 150kb's I believe and it will tell you that as well as the size. Any program you open up your photos in should have that option to resize though. I usually keep the original in case I wanna mess with it more later, crop, tweak, ect and rename the resized one and keep that as well for downloading.
