Right clicking to save an image, small problem.

[Basil]

Hi

When right clicking to save an image from an IE window,
the save dialogue appears but no matter what the original
file format IE seems to want to save the file as a bitmap
file. The save dialogue will not allow me to change the
file format as only bitmap is listed. It's a real
inconvenience as if I'm trying to save images from a
friends website for example, everytime I click "save
as..." the image name is "untitled" so I have to name
each image rather than the browser displaying the
original name of the image.

Thanks in advance for any help

Basil

The usual fix is to clear your cache.
IE-Tools-Internet Options-Delete Files (in the TIF section)

That seems to work about 98% of the time but if it doesn't, close IE
and reopen and do it again. Also it has been reported that clear
cookies helps, but ensure you save any that you need.

Thanks Alan, I'll give that a shot when I get home later.
