Hi!
I´ve a got a really peculiar problem with my file-extensions...
When I save a jpg-picture internet explorer gives it the file extension *.jpeg .
I have tried different sites, all with the same result. All previous pictures I´ve saved with the extension jpg.
I searched for *.jpeg files and found out that the first file dated exactly one week back, 18/1-03.
But the problem is that I can´t find any programs or changes that was made then... Recently installed both Quicktime and realplayer and of course I told both of them not to take "the privilege of playing files" over any other programs so they shouldn´t have messed up the file-extensions either.
Now I´ve uninstalled them both and re-booted - the problem is still here.
You may ask yourself why this is so important to me... I´ve lots of pictures saved and don´t want any duplicates. If the files are from exactly the same sites with the same names this could be avoided easily, windows tells me that I already have the file and asks if I want to overwrite it... But not if the extensions differ.
Edit: Operating system is XP... My jpeg-pictures have always been saved with the extension .jpg on 98, ME and XP until now.
