To resize images using the right-click menu, you used the Image Resizer PowerToy to resize images from the right-click menu in Windows XP. The Image Resizer PowerToy which was originally written for Windows XP, does not work in Windows Vista. However, there is a similar tool available for Windows Vista, written by Shahar Prish of Microsoft.
Resize Images using the Right-Click Menu
Download Prish Image Resizer (for XP and Vista 32-bit) and install it.
Prish Image Resizer adds the two options "Copy Picture" and "Prish Resizer" to the context menu for image files. The "Copy Picture" option copies the image to the Windows Clipboard. Selecting the Prish Resizer option will bring up a dialog:

It doesn’t work with Latin and some other non-ascii character in file and folder names.
When will an Image Resizer PowerToy Clone version for Vista 64-bit be available?
Very useful program. I like it for resizing more then one picture at a time. Like I’ll take a snip-it of my gadgets and resize them all at one time instead of doing it one at a time in “Paint” so I can post smaller pics in the gadget forums.
