Brian, with WindowsXP, just right click on the file where your picture is located. Then a menu will pop up, click on (resize pictures), on the next window click on (OK)if the top box is already checked, I think it is by default. And thats it, it will make a smaller pic for you and will keep your original file without a change. And the file name it makes will be the same but will have (small)at the end. If your worried about it, just make a copy of the pic before you start and work from the copy. Good luck!
