_____________________________________________________________________________
-Open the program "Paint".
-Then click "File" and then "Open". This will bring up the folders/files on your computer.
-Select the file you wish to work with.
-With the file/image open click on "Image". This will open a drop down menu.
-From the drop down menu, click "Stretch/Skew". This will open another box.
-In this box you will see "Stretch" with options for "Horizontal" and "Vertical". The %'s for these will be at 100.
-Change the value from 100 to your new percentage (either shrinking or enlarging) and click OK.
-Save the newly sized photo as a new file so as to retain your original.

Click "All Programs",
Click "Accessories",
Look for "Paint", right click on it and click "Send to",
Click "Desktop (Create Shortcut)"
This will put an icon on your desktop. To start the program, double click the icon.
You can remove this shortcut any time by right clicking and sending it to the recycle bin. Doing this will not delete the program, only the shortcut on the desktop.
edit to add: Sorry Felinepeachy, somehow missed that you already posted the info, not even three hours of sleep last night.
Felinepeachy said:Before I forget, there is one other way, whenever you right click on a picture that you have saved, it will give you the option of
"Open With". If you move your mouse to that, another menu pops open allowing you to open with "Paint"
