You can try this perl script (untested):

open(F,"ls *.jpg |" ) || die "";
while(<F> ) {
s/\r?\n\z//s;
s/\.\w{1,3}\z//s;
$base=$_;
system("djpeg ".$base.".jpg | pnmscale -width=100 | cjpeg > ".$base.".jpg" );
}
close F;


You will need "netpbm" and "jpeg-6b" packages.
Useing unix (www.freebsd.org etc..) will ease your task.

The best free batch processing program I've found and use regularly is
Imagen and can be found at

http://www.pixoid.com/

The results are far superior than Irfanview .

Perl, e.g. these people do a free version:

http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/

which runs on Windows as well.

Or using Imagemagick (http://www.imagemagick.org). You can use it either
through perl or from the command line. For example from the shell:

$ cd /foo/input
$ mkdir -p /foo/output
$ for x in *.jpg; do convert -geometry=400x300 -quality=75 $x /foo/output/$x; done
