    When using IE 6.0 when i click to save picture it only gives me a .BMP option. The picture file is a .JPG but I don't have that option. Is there a RegKey I need to add or modify ?

    Thank you

    Clear your Temporary Internet Files, including offline content and try again.

    Here's the real deal ....
    Someone sent me a .gif file in an email at my Hotmail account. If I right-click it and choose 'Save Picture As ..' IE will only present me with the option of saving as a .bmp file. Is this just a constraint of Hotmail ....... or do I have something messed up in IE's configuration ??
