Internet Explorer Saves Images As Bitmaps (.bmp Files)

Cannot Save Images in Windows XP as JPG
http://www.microsoft.com/WindowsXP/expertzone/newsgroups/faq/default.asp
Q. Why can't I save .jpg, .gif or .png images in their original format in
Microsoft Internet Explorer?
A. Sometimes, if you right-click an image in Internet Explorer and choose
Save Picture As, the list of available types in the Save As dialog box will
not contain .jpg, .gif, or .png. It will either contain both .bmp and .art,
or only .bmp. Here are two procedures that may fix this problem.
To empty your Temporary Internet Files cache
In Internet Explorer, click Tools, and then click Internet Options.
On the General tab, click Delete Files.
To turn off graphic compression in the AOL client
Go to Preferences in AOL.
Click Internet properties (or WWW in some versions).
Click Web Graphics.
Clear Never compress graphics (or Use compressed graphics in some versions).

For some reason, when I try to save images from a web page, I am only
allowed to save them as a bitmap file, and have to name them myself. I am
able to convert the files to jpeg through my viewer, but I would rather not
have to bother. The bitmap files are of course, much larger, and why should
I have to name a file that already has a name. Is there anyone who can tell
me what I need to do to revert to the proper setting allowing me to save a
picture as a jpeg? Thanks in advance for any help.
