Its the nature of the .jpg file-type, so it would be doubtful if you could compress them very much further.

162356 2003-07-23 10:18:00 Picture editing programs have the ability adjust qualitiy of jpegs This can reduce the file size with very little quatity difference to the eye. I use MS photodraw to do this I'm sure other programs would do the same thing The ResinMaster (3820)
162357 2003-07-23 10:30:00 Should have continued "..doubt you could compress them very much further".....without dropping some quality, but that may be quite acceptable for on screen viewing.

A very good (free) program is Irfanview available here (http://www.irfanview.com/) that will do it, not sure what XP will use natively as it never asks me the question.
