When I get photos in e-mail (from AOL), I right click and
choose Save Picture As, then choose .jpg; however, what
appears in my folder are generic icons which Windows does
not recognize. Can someone advise me as to how to save
such pictures. I have no problems when they are
"attachments." I just drag them and drop them into
appropriate folders. But sometimes they are just embedded
in the e-mail.
====================================
Maybe the person sending the files *from* an
AOL account needs to adjust some settings.
Here's a trick you can try on the files you are
having a problem with:
===
How to convert .art files using Internet Explorer:
Open Internet Explorer...
Open the folder with your .Art files...
Drag and Drop an .Art file into the open
Internet Explorer window...(it doesn't
matter what's already in the window).
Right click the .Art file...hopefully you will
have the "Save Picture As" option...
Or...simply go to...File / Save As...
