/* Image Resizer */
The following lines were added (+) and removed (-):
* Windows XP version available at Microsoft web site.* A Powertoys [http://imageresizer.codeplex.com/ Image Resizer clone] has been developed for Windows 7 by a 3rd party.  The application has been re-written in C++ to support Vista and Windows 7 in both 32 and 64-bit versions.  '''NOT RECOMMENDED''' - This "clone" will cause DATA LOSS!  In our lab we noted errors resulted in an image being deleted when "Replace the Originals" is checked. A design flaw causes it to delete before it verifies the new image was correctly produced.  Also, the .net framework is a slow and bulky install but is required for this utility.:* Doesn't compress as well as the original MS Image Resizer:* Glitch may cause images to be deleted:* Hefty .NET Framework installation required:* Weird preset image size options:* Sluggish to load<BR>The Image Resizer in PowerToys for XP is much better than the Clone for Windows 7 at Codeplex.
