image resizer caused a problem

[Guest]

I reinstalled XP home and since then i can't change the name of the file without adding the file extention to it. An example would be right clicking on a photo on the net, goto "save as" if i leave the name as it is, it saves it fine (even though there is no file extention shown) if i try to change the name it saves it but when i check the type of file it reads "file type: file" and i can't open it unless i rename it with the .jpg extention or whatever the original was named. also i'm not changing the "save as type" when saving. The problem started after I installed image resizer, I removed image resizer through add/remove programs but I stiil have the same problem, Thank

Hi Ron,

Suggestions:

1.Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/View: Uncheck - Hide extensions for
known file types.

2. Check the file extenstion via HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and Folder Options/View
Types.

3. Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 shimgvw.dll
