Image Resizer is a handy MS PowerToys applet that does a good job of resizing photos for posting. Much easier and faster than launching PhotoShop or one of the other huge programs just to do a simple task. MS PhotoEditor does the same thing, albeit not as simply as Image Resizer, nor will it do batches of files.
Here's where you can download Image Resizer.
http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe
Then if it doesn't work after you install it (AMHIK), you can patch your registry with this fix:
Go to the command prompt and type in:
REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL
After doing the above, Image Resizer now works like a charm!
Right click on any jpg or groups of jpg's and you'll see a new context sensitive command "Resize Images"
