Default How do I change "Save As" option from .BMP to .JPG?

I am using Win2k+SP4 and ie6. In saving internet photos, I can sometimes
save them in Jpg format and at other times the option seems to be solely
.bmp. I cannot find a way to change it to provide a choice. Is there one?

That happens when the Temporary Internet Files are too full. In IE click
Tools | Internet Options. Click Delete Files in the Temporary Internet
files section of the General tab. On the next window place a check mark in
the box to Delete all offline content.

If that doesn't fix it, go to Tools | Internet Options | Advanced and scroll
down to the Security section. Uncheck "Do not save encrypted pages to
disk".

Click Start/Run and type this command to fix the 'Content Type' settings:

regsvr32 /i mshtml.dll
(and/or)
regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll (for WinXP)
