JWB,
If you want to stick with MS Picture Manager, look at the other options - there are two ways you can go. Resize and Compress. Resize will eventually get you a file size change as well, but if you use Compress you get both Resize (dimensions) and reduced file size (kb). Instead of choosing Web, try Documents or other options to see the result.
As noted above, make sure that you only work with a copy, as jpgs degrade in quality with every save. That way you'll always have your large, high quality original to work from.
