In fact how do you convert files from one type to another.

Windows gives no help at all on this subject. I want to convert a screen shot into a jpeg format?
 
I normally (when no more elabrate a program is available -- though ot necessary) will dump the screen shot into Microsoft Photo Editor and "Save As" the desired file type.
 
This is the point, it will only save as a .clp file, how can I change that. I tried just changing the file extension, but dear old windows was not convinced.
 
I'm not getting what could be happening on your end.
I just screen-shotted this post, dropped into Photo Editor as a New Blank Picture, Ctrl-V'd it in, and saved it as both a .gif and a .jpg.
You're making your own screenshoot, right? Or are you bringing it in off the web or some other way?
 
Copy image from clipboard?

On Windows as is:

Open Paint (Start>Programs>Accessories>Paint). When it opens you should see the draw cursor (pencil as pointer)...if not then select it from toolbar on left. With the draw cursor on the canvas, press Ctrl+V (paste). Your image from the clipboard will be pasted into Paint. Save the file (File>Save). The save as box will allow it to be saved as a bmp or jpeg.

Better way:

Go to this site and download XnView (no internal linking, so click through the site to the XnView download page):
This program will capture and edit anything that appears on your screen. It is extremely easy to use and can decode over 360 graphic formats as well as turn out 20 different formats. Can make multi-page graphics, scroll through all your graphic files on your PC in full view with the mouse wheel (faster than a preview thumbnail), edit files, can resize individual or a batch of files, and many more things to numerous to mention. Oh, and it's free.

Thanks drcard, this is what I needed, as I was thrown into networking at the deepend, with no knowledge of computers, it hadn't occured to me that your computer comes with some sort of basic imaging package.

Thanks evryone else too.
