I've mentioned the thumnail generator, “Thumbo”, several times.  I wrote it about a year ago while I was on vacation wanting to upload pictures to my blog over dial-up.  All you had to do was drag images onto it and it would spit out thumnails sized to your specification.  I had a “duh” moment the other day when I right-clicked on an image in explorer and was surprised to see “Resize Image” in the context menu.

Turns out, I had installed the Image Resizer powertoy for XP, which provides basically the exact same functionality integrated into the shell.

Anyway, I know a few of my readers are using Thumbo to generate thumbnails.  In the interest of not having to support it anymore, I would recommend using the powertoy instead.
