Saving files in IE 6.0

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

I am having problems saving images in IE 6.0. Whenever I right-click on an
image, and select 'Save Picture As', IE only allows me to save the image as a
BMP image in the 'Save Picture' dialog box. In the 'Save As Type' field, the
only option that pops up is '*.bmp' - and the defualt name in the 'File Name'
field is always 'Untitled', not the actual image's file name. Does anyone
know what is causing this, or if there is another way to save images where I
can save them as a .jpg instead of a .bmp? Any help would be greatly
appreciated....

It's a mystery Brit

Clear your temporary Internet files.

Either (in Internet Explorer) Tool> Internet Options> Delete files, or run
Disk Cleanup making sure the temporary Internet files are selected for
cleanup.
