When I 'save' a picture from a web- page, it
saves as a .jpeg file. I do not want this, I want
it to save as a .jpg file. I would like to be able
to save directly to .jpg rather than .jpeg. What
can I do to fix this issue? Also, at times, the
pictures will save as .bmp files, no matter what
type of files they are. What causes that?
===================================
You have two issues...
These articles should address the .bmp problem.
Go to the following site and scroll
down to the bottom of the page.
"Music, Video, and Photos"

Bitmaps (.bmp Files

Here's some info about...jpeg / jpg
You may need to do some editing in your
registry...carefully read the following article
first before proceeding:
Information About Editing the Registry

====================================
".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.
