trying to save .jpg pic and explorer makes me save it as .bmp

[matt]

while surfing around and trying to save .jpg pics i right
click on picture, click save pic as, and when the window
opens it only allows me to save the .jpg as a .bmp. and
example would be
http://www.desertcombat.com/ScreenShots/dc/25.jpg when i
right click on it and try to save it, explorer makes me
save it as a .bmp

this problem happened to me a long time ago and i had to
go into registry and delete something. i can't find how
to do that again. please email me if you know what to do.

thanks in advance.

This problem occurs if the Temporary Internet Files are full. Clear the
temporary internet files.

1. Start Internet Explorer
2. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
3. Click the General tab.
4. Under Temporary Internet files, click Delete Files.
5. When you are prompted to delete all temporary Internet files, click OK.

Internet Explorer Saves Images As Bitmaps (.bmp Files)

If this does not work, you may want to check the content/type settings in
registry. Will explain that if necessary.
