Problem sending pictures from Windows Explorer
I am using Win XP professional edition. I used to send pictures, and resize them, from Windows Explorer (selecting the pictures, File, Send To, Mail Recipient). I always then got the options to resize them (make files smaller), or not. Now, all of a sudden, this does not work anymore. Yes, I can still send them, but only in the original size. How come?
