I use a product called Shrinker from Blinlinc (www.blinkinc.com) which reduces the size of my *.exe files by about 50%. It can be used on any *.exe or *.dll file not only those created in Delphi so you can use it to reduce space on your hard drive as well. I have found this to be an excellent product. I believe there may be other shareware or freeware products around that do a similar job.
