Freeware: Free Image Converter

As requested, I downloaded a piece of freeware called Free Image Converter. It's less than half a megabyte so trialing this software won't be risky.

This program allows you to re-size photos in batches, as opposed to the time-consuming effort of having to re-size each photo one by one in programs such as Photoshop or Windows Picture Editor. You simply save all of the photos you wish to re-size, open the program, select the folder which contains the images, choose the desired image size and file name, select the target folder and click convert.

This program is actually really helpful if you have taken alot of high-quality images (normal shots on a Digital SLR for example, average around 2-4Mbs) and you need to re-size them to around 40-60KB's to send online or burn onto a CD.

I think the thing with these freeware applications, specifically the ones to do with photo imaging and editing, is that they only offer one real main function as opposed to the all-encompassing Adobe Photoshop. But hey, it's free so you can't complain.
