Any suggestions.....

Irfanview

See if you think it will do all that you need.

It is free.

I'd personally recommend GIMP as a free photo-editing program, however as to resizing more than one photo at a time (im assuming you mean resizing multiple photos simultaneously) i personally do not know of a way. Though if there are some script-fu savvy people on these forums they might be able to make something that will re-size the photo in one click.

Grace is given freely, but respect must be earned.

Irfanview includes "batch" processing, which also includes resizing of images.

Try Faststone Image Viewer, also free
FastStone Image Viewer , Screen Capture, Photo Resizer ...
greate for browsing images, resize, crop, convert formats, recolor, slideshow.

Batch convert mode can do some pretty smart things with resizing, renaming and so on.

Yes, Irfanview has an option to "overwrite existing files".

Look for it in the batch conversion/rename section - Advanced Options - "Miscellaneous" section (lower right).

I know you think you understand what you thought I said,
but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant!

Freehand and Photoshop is a unique tool for resizing image. Its east and convenient. I have no problem with the resizing images in this tool.

Well, I am using VSO Image Resizer to manage my digital photos, I really like to use this software, Because its organizes my photos by changing their resolution or moving them within my hard drive. And I personally think that, It is the perfect tool for resize, compress, convert, create copies, create thumbnails, import or organize my photos.
