new to XP, and to IE for that matter.
The default JPG extension seems to be JPE.
Is there any way to change that?
When a picture is already JPG, it seems that IE or XP or
both change the extension to JPE.
Is there a way to change the default file type for JPG to
JPG instead of the current JPE?

THanks for any help available.

You may need to do some editing in your registry...
carefully read the following article first before proceeding:

Information About Editing the Registry
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;256986#Topic2

====================================
".jpg extension may be incorrect in registry"

Go to...Start / Run...

Type in "regedit" (without the quotes)...OK.

In your registry editor...drill down to:

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

What is entered at "Extension"? (should be: .jpg)
(don't change anything...just observe)

Also you might check:

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

What is entered at "Extension"? (should be: .jpg)

If the *Extensions* are incorrect, changing them to .jpg
should solve your problem.

To make the change...

Left click "Extension" to select it.

With "Extension" selected...go to...Edit / Modify...

Replace the text in the "Value data" field with
".jpg" (without the quotes)...OK.

Close the registry editor....File / Exit.
