How can I change save picture as to include JPEG

Hi, when I right click on a picture and click save as, the only choice I have
is bitmap. I would prefer to save my pictures as jpeg. How do I change this?
Thanks

In what program? Some programs can only save under certain formats. I
believe the freeware program Paint.Net supports JPEG's, as well as GIMP.

Re: How can I change save picture as to include JPEG

When I use IE7 or mozilla firefox, and for example search images, if I right
click on the image to save picture as, I only have the choice of bitmap. I
prefer to safe my pictures as jpeg files. I have deleted my temp internet
folder, but no changes.

Maybe there is some default setting somewhere that says all pics saved as
.....

any suggestions???

When you right click and choose...
Save Picture As...and all you see is...
Bitmap [*.bmp]...sometimes it can
help if you refresh the screen.

Also...might be worth a try to run
Disk CleanUp.

I believe the fix is to increase the size of IE's disk cache, and/or
clear the cache.

I don't use "Right-Click, Save As" when saving pictures from IE7. I drag 'n drop them into the folder I want. Even though I must answer a "Are You Sure" prompt, it's works out a lot faster than the "Save As" option. This also as the advantage that the file will be saved in the original format as it exists on the webpage.

The Save As right click mouse button gives the original format and BMP in the drop down menu, but I would like to change that default BMP to PNG. Any way to do this?
