I routinely email photos but I rarely want them resized. Is there a way to remove the dialog that pops up to give resize options when I send a photo to my email program? Or at least set it to send the original size instead of the default smaller size? I'm using Windows 10 Pro.

That's a windows explorer dialog, there isn't a way that I'm aware of to get rid of them save breaking the file association for pictures. Opening Thunderbird and attaching them from there should work too.

I use Thunderbird for my email client, but I can't find any settings for this. To clarify, here's what I'm asking about:

First I do this:

Screenshot (17).png

  • Media owner kenwylie
  • Date added
Windows File Explorer open to Screenshots folder with right-click send options shown.

Then this comes up:

Screenshot (18).png

Screenshot (18).png

  • Media owner kenwylie
  • Date added
Windows File Explorer window showing a folder of 17 screenshots and an "Attach Files" dialog.

Is there a way to make these settings options not appear or to change the default to not resizing?
