Can anyone tell me how to prevent .jpg files being saved
off the internet, being converted into .jpeg files. The
pictures being downloaded are .jpg and yet the software
on my machine (XP) or (iexplorer) insists on changing the
extension to .jpeg. It is driving me mad.
=============================================
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/?kbid=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.
==============================
Good Luck.
