Re: Save Picture As.. is saving every jpg with the extension .jpe

Hi Jan and thanks for these suggestions.

Unfortunately I have tried all of these already (accept the multiple periods
one as it doesn't apply) and they had no effect.

In desperation I phoned my work IT dept (even though problem on my own PC)
and they came up with the answer!! I'll detail it here for any others with
the same problem -

To resolve this you must edit the Registry. (Start > Run > Regedit)
Explore to - HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\ContentType\image\jpeg
In the rght side you will see the 'Extension' value is likely to be .jpe (if
it isn't then this isn't your solution)
Double click on the word 'Extension' and change it to .jpg
Close the Registry Editor and all should be well again!

Thanks for your efforts Jan (and thanks Phil in IT).
