Default Shrinking pics

What program can I use to shrink a pic to use as an avatar. I have photoshop 2, and can't figure it out, nor can I figure out how change the resolution. Can someone please help this gearhead with a geek problem

True, however, for decency reasons I might refrain from those

I like 'Microsoft Office Picture Manager' the best, because it so easy. If you have Microsoft Office, just click on the program, then all your pictures will come up with that program when you go to full screen, then you can go to 'edit pictures' and 'resize' to change the pixel count to whatever size you want and it will save it for you.
