Hi,
Is there a way to reduce the file size of lets say a screen print in MS
Paint, by reducing the quality of the picture/image?

Apart from "zipping" I mean.

Many thanks

I believe that MS Paint saves the files as *.bmp by default. Try and save then as
*.jpg or even better *.gif. You will have a very slight loss of quality
 
have you tried ctrl+w
method?

Try the free IrfanView program, which gives you a range of quality
values when saving as JPG's. IrfanView also allows you to
resize/resample the image, which can also reduce the file size.
