<p>I just found out about <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx" target="_self">MICROSOFT POWERTOYS FOR WINDOWS XP</a>. There are some pretty cool tools for XP users. The two I liked the most are Tweak UI which allows you to (among other things) have your comp boot up to the desktop rather than have to click the user. The coolest one is Image Resizer. </p><p>I can resize images with several programs on my comp, but this one is very good if you want to work quickly (such as make a photo smaller so you can easily email it). Once you download it, all you have to do is right click a photo and click "resize". With one more click I changes a 1.5MB photo into a 20KB copy. Very handy!</p><p>There are at least 10 other cool tools that can be downloaded there, too. All for free. This thing has been around a while, so I'm sure a lot of you already know about it. I just found out about it, and I think I remember someone once asking how to resize pics.</p>
