.jpg saves as .jpe in Internet Explorer

[Simon G dawson]

I have no idea how it has happened, but now when I right click a jpg picture
in Internet Explorer and select 'save as' it gives the saved file the
extension jpe instead of jpg.

Does anyone know how to change the default 'save as' back to jpg, please?

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

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