winxp had a good picture resizer, which is available on the microsoft site, but Vista is still lacking a program, which would resize giant images (7MB) or make smaller copies of it for websites.

I've been using photoshop to resize my pictures on the fly, but it's a pain to open it and load it for every picture.

Anyone knows a fast way to resize pictures in Vista?

If photoshop is difficult you can use of mspaint on the windows.
Image->Resize/Skew

I use a free program called faststone image viewer to resize and crop in Vista or XP.

I know about that, but I want something that does it automatically without messing around too long one by one. I got over 600 new pictures and they are all huge (made with a 8.1 megapixel camera). I want to upload them to the net, but it would take forever it's several gigabytes, so I want to create a smaller copies of them, keeping the original at the same time.

There's also Paint.net, which is a pretty good resizer/editor.

Lightroom can do batch resize and save. I use both Lightroom and PhotoshopCS4 - but lightroom is faster :)
