One of the things to do to an image before emailing it or putting it on the web is to resize it so it takes up less space. This can be an annoying process, requiring firing up an image editor and loading the file, then resizing it and saving it back again.

That's where the Image Resizer, part of Microsoft's Windows XP PowerToys suite, comes in. Once it's installed, it adds a menu item to the context menu (the right-click menu) for image files in Windows Explorer.
