ImageResizer Powertoy on Server 2003

[cookie_monster]

We use the ImageResizer.exe powertoy on our XP desktops as a simple right click tool that enables users to resize images. I'd like to use this on our Citrix boxes and I wondered if anyone else has tries this on Server 2003.

Cheers.


EDIT - Well it doesn't install so that's out. I use VSO Image resizer at home but it does have a nagware button. Anyone have a better alternative that has similar features.

hiya,
there isn't a image resizer tool for server 2k3 from microsoft (to my knowledge)

what i do here is just use a xp machine with admin privs of the folder with the images, search for all files larger than 2MB then just highlight them all and use the tool from that xp machine.

I use this one Image Resizer PowerToy Clone for Windows | Get Image Resizer PowerToy Clone for Windows at SourceForge.net as it is an msi and I can deploy it.

Thank you very much I've used that before and spent ages trying to find it again. I'll see if it works on server 2003.

*BACKUP FIRST*
Not exactly the right tool as you will need to shutdown host, but has always worked well for me.
Linux Live CD - Gparted - GParted -- Welcome

Or try this from DELL http://ftp.us.dell.com/app/ExtPart.exe (no gui)
extpart c: <size>

You can do batch file resizes/covnerts/watermarking/etc using irFanView (IrfanView - Official Homepage - one of the most popular viewers worldwide) and I think that will install on 2003.

I'm a bit warey of fudging it on a production box.


@ aptproductions

We have a couple of pieces of software including Irfanview that will do the job but the Powertoy only requires a right click so it's very straight forward.


@ apaton

I'm after an image resizer e.g. .jpg files not a partition resizer.

doh!!

this is what i use.. see attatched.

place exe in root of c: and import the reg file.

this will give you a context menu on most image files and will create the resized file next to the original.
