When I receive emails with photos in them, it is difficult to open the pictures if they are "jpegs".
My computer goes through several steps before finally opening such photos.
Is there anything I can do to speed this up? I have a modern computer, using Windows XP home edition.

i guess you have anti-virus program, it indicates the images as virus.... ( you can adjust program config. )
or you don't have an appropriate standard program to open JPEGs ( in this case you can use the browser itself).
finally maybe a wrong resolution

I'm guessing that these pics are taken with a digital camera right? And that the person taking them set the resolution of the pics to... say.. 3-5 megapixels. This would mean the pics are quite large in size. That combined with the fact that there are usually scanners built into e-mail servers to scan for viruses on attachments, it would take a long time. Or you have dial up internet.
Tell the person to turn down the resolution of the pics a little, or get broadband internet.
Oh and your computer has an appropriate program to open the pics, all computers do.

You shouldn't want to by-pass the security features of your computer. The reason you have to go through several steps to open a .jpeg from an email, is so that just in case the image contains embedded trojans/virus/spyware. Your system will not become automatically infected. This is why your email program makes it difficult for you.
Think before you react

Opening jpeg pictures? Wow.. find something new everyday.
The only real thing I can think of is maybe the resolution your computer is set at. If your resolution is too high or too low for your computer, high quality images will take longer amounts of time to load, especially if they are large in sizes.

It depends what format your senders have used. try R. click on the photo click on open with and choose an appropriate type. if this works OK do it again and tick the box that says always open this type of file with this application. Good Luck
