How To Save Images as JPG's rather than BMP?
 

I'm using Windows XP. Just today I noticed whenever I try to save an image to my desktop the image has to be saved in .bmp format.

I don't know why. It never did this before. I don't recall installing anything to cause this. Is there a setting that I can change so that I can save images in their original format?

It's a known bug in IE.
