Quick way to e-mail photo's
Open the My Pictures folder (it's tucked inside My Documents) in Windows XP, and there's a link at the left side under "File and folder tasks" called E-mail This File. When you select an image and click this link, a "Send pictures via e-mail" dialog pops up, and, if you let it, Windows XP will reduce the size of your picture so that it uploads and downloads faster.

XP Pro makes it easy to
share digital photos
Summer is just around the corner and that means...vacations! Wowie! How cool is
that? And this means lots of pictures, probably taken with your digital camera.
What's great about using a digital camera is that you can take a boatload of
pictures, and you don't have to worry about the high cost of photo processing.
Just transfer them to your computer, where each image will be saved as a
separate file. Now you can share photos with family and friends easily using
e-mail.
E-mailing a picture using Windows XP Professional cannot get any simpler. Just
right-click on an image in Windows Explorer and from the menu, select Send To
and Mail Recipient. Windows XP Professional will ask you if you want to make the
file smaller. Unless you think the person getting the picture will want to print
it, go ahead and let Windows XP make the file smaller.
After this, your e-mail program will open with a new message ready to go with
the image attached. All you need to do is type the recipient's e-mail address
and click Send.
Now, let's say you want to send a bunch of images contained in one folder.
There's no need to e-mail each image one by one. Windows XP Professional will
send all the pictures contained in a folder at once. It will put all those
images saved in one folder into one ZIP or compressed file, ready to send out.
This is very cool.
To do this, right-click on the folder. Select Send To and then click Compressed
(zipped) Folder. By the way, if you receive a zip-compressed folder, Windows XP
Professional automatically decompresses it for you as you view its contents.
Very cool too!
