One of the most essential tools I think you need is the Image Resize Powertoy, now this currently only works with Windows XP, but after much searching around, I found one that does the job just as good as the one made by Microsoft, except it works with Vista.

The Image Resizer for Vista is a must have for anyone that is missing the Powertoy from XP that allows you to quickly resize an image from the context menu. Unfortunately it isn’t compatible with x64 Vista as of yet, but is currently being tested. If you run an x86 version of Vista, you can download it over on the download page.

To use this in x64 versions, you will need to open regedit and add the following:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jpegfile\shell\
Add Key named Resize
Add Key under Resize named command
Modify the (Default) REG_SZ value to full path of ImageResizer.exe and include space %1 at end.

In addition you could add other file types by going to the other types under the HKCR and doing the same.

Thank’s to Josh Squires for the above fix.
