Saving downloaded pictures

[Rob]

My internet explorer is suddenly saving all images
as .BMP files rather than as .JPG files which is was
doing up until this past week. These files are enormous
and although I can convert them to .jpg files, I'd rather
resume being able to save them as such. The "save as"
window only gives .bmp as an option. How do I remedy
this?
