IE tries to save .jpg as .jpeg

[Guest]

My problem is the same as another poster here, but I've tried all the advice I've seen, and nothing works. When I try to save a .jpg file, IE tries to use an extension of .jpeg instead. I can manually change the extension back to .jpg, but that got real old after about 12 seconds. I have deleted my TIF and reduced the size to 40 Mb, deleted my cookies, verified that the registry entries list image/jpeg as the MIME type (I'm using XP Pro, so there is no "default extension"), verified the file associations for the three extensions, even *deleted* all three associations, and IE still tries to save .jpg's as .jpeg

The two basic theories behind the advice posted in this group are a full/corrupt TIF index and munged file extensions, and it sure seems like this problem couldn't stem from either of those. Anyone have any other ideas

Check the following registry key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\image/jpeg

"Extension"=".jpg"

Its the same graphic type file just written two different
ways, but its OK either way

Look at your setting for both types of file.

You set this for each file type, e.g. for .zip
Explorer-View-Folder Options-File Types
Find the .zip association (may be WinZip File)
Edit, (or click Advanced on ME or XP) and check the "Confirm open
after download" box

The path to Folder Options may vary according to your operating
system. It may be:
Explorer-View-Folder Options
Explorer-Tools-Folder Options
Start-Settings-Folder Options
Start-Settings-Control Panel-Folder options.
