BMP & JPG

[Guest]

When I Rt Click and save a picture from an email or on the web it is always
saved as a "untitled" bitmap, with no option to change the file type. This

occurs even when friends send me JPGs and I Rt. Click to save and I KNOW
it's a JPEG and not a BMP. My computer didn't used to do this, It used

to save any picture using the name of the file and not "untitled". It also
would save the picture in whatever format it happened to be in and not a BMP

every time or would give me the option to save the file as a BMP or JPG.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
PS I'm using XP PRO - though I'm not one...
I have run both ad-aware and spybot, emptied my temp folder in internet
explorer, all cookies and followed the directions of these two knowledge

base articles

to no avail... and emptied all temp files I could find on my machine.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,
Try deleting the Temporary Internet Files folder. You will have to be logged
in as another user with admin privileges and may have to have "Show hidden
files and folders" checked in Folder Options> View.
