Be sure you have Microsoft Office installed to use this process:
-In Vista
1. Click the Start button
2. Click Pictures to open your Picture files
3. Find the picture you want to resize
4. Right Click on the picture
5. Select 'Open With'
6. Select 'Microsoft Office Picture Manager'
-Microsoft Office Picture Manager starts
7. Picture > Resize
8. Select the desired size in the 'Predefined width X height' field in the upper right-hand margin
9. Click OK
10. Close Microsoft Office Picture Manager
-You will be prompted to Save the changes
11. Click 'Save'

Note: This will alter the original picture size.  If you want to keep the original in-tact, be sure to File > Save As... before resizing.
