can someone tell me how to size down photos so they can be viewed "normally"

From my Windows XP Help.

To send a photo in e-mail

1.. Open My Pictures and then open the folder containing the photo you want to send in e-mail.
2.. Click the photo you want to send.
3.. Under File and Folder Tasks, click E-mail this file.
4.. In the Send Pictures via E-mail dialog box, click Make all my pictures smaller.
Windows makes a smaller photo file and attaches it to an e-mail message that displays a default subject and text message.

5.. In the To box, type the e-mail address of the person to receive the picture, change the subject and message text if you want, and then click Send.
Notes

a.. To open My Pictures, click Start, and then click My Pictures.
b.. Use this procedure for photos of file size greater than 64 kilobytes (KB). To check the file size of your photo, right-click the file, click Properties, and look at Size.
c.. To send the photo without reducing the size of the file, click Keep the original sizes.
d.. To change the settings for the size of the image, click Show more options.
