Anyone know any good windows programs for resizing images. Basically one which requires no thinking on the end users part, its for emailing photos, and they are sending 800KB - 1MB photos at the minute. I want a very basic program they can select the files for emailing and it spits out compressed versions.

a few options...

If you're using Outlook, then you can just right click on the image in explorer, send to, mail reciepient and you will be prompted if you want to compress the images and they'll be attached to an email for you. (never used this facility myself so don't know how well it compresses the images or what size t compressed them to)

IrfanVIEW is great for batch processing, I use it all the time and has loads of options.

If it's not something that needs batch options, this : http://pixoh.com/ is quite handy.
