I would like to change the default file type to jpeg when somebody hits save
in MSPaint. is this possible?

Thnx
 
Yes.
Use "Save as" and then for file type, scroll and select jpg. This will make
a new file in the same folder and with the same file name but the extension
will now be .jpg
 
changing the format each time is a pain, Is there a way to set the default
File Save As format?

==================================
MS Paint will save in the same format as the
original file so apparently you are importing
files in formats other than .jpg.

Maybe a better solution would be to use a
software like IrfanView to do a batch reformat
of your files.

Download IrfanView

If you are downloading images from the net
and they are all saving as .bmps you need to
do some maintenance. Have a look at the
following articles:
