Ugh. Apparently I did something, and now every time I right-click on a photo to save it, it saves them as bitmaps when it used to save them as jpgs. How can I get the computer to go back to saving them as jpgs? I hate bitmap.

I've been having the same problem today. No matter what I do, it refuses to save them as anything but bmp, so I just go into Paint then save it as a jpg.

You need to clear your temporary internet files and then close your browser and restart it.

Tools > Internet Options > Delete Files

K. I'll try that.
