You are looking to compress JPG files (lower their file size) without loss of quality. This can be done with almost any image editor -- JPG files have the built-in capability to reduce their 'quality' and thus reduce size. The good thing is reducing JPG 'quality' typically doesn't lower image quality as seen by the naked eye.

I suggest looking at Fileminimizer Pictures to compress images instead of using Paint. See http://www.balesio.com/fileminimizerpictures/eng/index.php.

But since it does this all over the image, the size of the JPEG is reduced from 2 megabytes to maybe 500 kilobytes, without any noticeable difference, so when you have thousands of pictures, the file space saved is quite substantial.

So basically, I need a program or script that will take jpg files in a directory, open them in Microsoft Paint and resave them. Thanks.
