Select the rctangular selection tool, set it for fixed aspect ratio, and set for 1.33H x 1.0W, then selct an area for crop, and from the menu select image>crop. Now right-click in the image title bar and select image size. Set the height to 120. The width should automatically become 90.

Go to the crop tool (it's the one that looks like a square with a line diagonal through it) .... Click it .... You will notice that at the top of the screen, below the menu, you have some tool preferences for this tool now.... one is width, one height, and one resolution ... type "120 px" in the first box, "90 px" in the second... and since it is for the web "72" in the third box. Now drag the cursor around what you want to be your icon. Double click inside when the crop is as you like....go under the file menu and select "Save as...." .....etc......

1. Crop the pic to inlude everything you want on the LONG dimension
2. Resize the picture so it is 120 pixels on the long dimension
3. Select the crop tool, and in the bar on top of the photoshop window set the empty data fields to 120px x 90px (or vice versa, dpending on landscape or portrait orientation)
4. Drag the crop tool diagonally from one corner of the long side to the other
5. click in the center of the resultant rectangle and drag it around so the cropping is as you like it, then double-click
This is an alternative to Kirbic's method which may be easier to understand...

When you save the file, choose 'save for web' (Alt+Ctrl+Shift+S in windows) and over on the right there are optimize options. Choose 'optimize for file size' and set it to the size you want - that'll automatically adjust the pic to size, and remove the unnecessary exif data.

The only way I can imagine a 120x90 pic being over 100K is that you must be looking at the size before saving. Are you referring to the "image size" indication in Photoshop, or are you actually saving the .jpg file and then checking that size? The two numbers will be incredibly different.
I don't have any links to offer myself, because I'm not a PS user, but there are tons of Photoshop tutorials out there that could be a big help. There is a tremendous amount of software capability at your disposal; you'll serve yourself well by reading everything you can find on the web. Of course, we're glad to help here, but so many tutorials have been written by so many helpful people that it's a shame to waste them :)
Good luck.
