Photoshop CS - Optimized image file size changes back to original image size on re-open. HELP!

Software - Photoshop CS

I have a 100x100 image that I've been trying to optimize. Original size 29.3K. I did the "save for web" thing, and selected jpg at 80% quality, which dropped the size down to 4.031K. Then I clicked Save, and thought all was well.

Question - When I re-open the image, and do the save as bit again (just to make sure of the size) the image shows as being 29.3K again. What is going on? Why am I not seeing the image size that I had saved earlier? Can someone explain this to me please?

I've been paying close attention to the folder to where the image is saved, and it is the right one. I've even opened "My Computer", browsed to the correct folder, and file, and did a right click, properties, and it shows the correct size. I'm wondering if that 29.3K is a "standard" os some sort.

No worries. After looking at the file size in "My Computer" and seeing that it was saved at the proper file size my worries are over. Must just be a bug.

Thanks for responding.
