There are countless ways to do this, the main 2 options being:

1-use some app that will generate thumbnails, usually along a gallery (static html pages) - like photoshop (look under file > automate >web photo gallery, at least in CS2), or a number of other apps that can do this

2-install and configure some kind of gallery package on your web server (whatever you like and that your server supports), such as coppermine, gallery or 4images, and drop your photos in there.

i dont want anything special tho. i just want to display the pics without and type of design layouts.

I'm sorry, but I have absolutely NO idea what you mean by "without and type of design layouts". If you just want thumbnails w/o web pages at all (no links, just a bunch of thumbnails generated), then photoshop can still do this, or tons of other apps (there are even apps that do only that). But I'm not real sure what you want...

not too sure what your level with php is but you can use the image processor (i.php) from zenphoto (http://www.zenphoto.org)

I use it for many of my sites.. then you can just call a url like

ttp://www.site.net/gallery/i.php?a=[albumname]&i=[imagename]&s=[sizeINpixel]

or if you have modrewrite available on your server that can look cleaner

or you can just use the whole gallery package

Auto creates thumbnails and resized images.. very scalable.. I run all my galleries on it.. simple yet absolutely functional

For just converting the images, you could use convert.exe from http://www.imagemagick.org/

convert -size 80x60 file.jpg file_thumb.jpg

I am not sure if this helps or not...just an option.
