New to this posting lark.
Can anyone tell me how to make my photos smaller?

the simple Paint program in accessories can also do this too, that's what I use at work.

hmmm, ne too but I find the quality goes bad- I copy picture into Word and reduce the size whcih seems to give better results.

If that fails, move the screen further away.

Try Irfanview, it has a resize option and is dead easy use and its free.

Irfanview is very good - used it many years ago.

Now I use GIMP, also free, but probably over-kill for a job like this.
