IE9 default Picture Save As Issue

[Keyboy]

Well I am still fighting this issue and getting tired. When I open a web page that has a picture on it that I want to save, I right click it and the file save dialogue window pops up. In most cases, the URL has a description that ends in .jpg. However, the file save dialog is filled in with untitled.png. The drop down offers bmp as an alternative. I am not sure what has happened, however, I can't seem to change anything.

Is there some place in the registry that IE stores the default for the file save dialog? I have tried all the things that Microsoft has suggested in their Knowledge Base but they don't do anything and seemed to be directed to earlier IE versions.

If all else fails, can I remove and reinstall IE9, or is there something else wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Although the URL ends in jpg, are you sure that is the format? I would view the source and see what image type the image actually is, sounds like it's really a png.

Yes I have checked numerous times and the source is a jpg file. Once in a while a png slips in but this is the exception. Good question.

Have you reset ie to defaults?

Thanks Sympology,
I reset IE to its defaults. It didn't help with the File Save dialogue. So I continue to battle this mess.

As posts in other forums like this show, it's a weird problem when it comes up and there seems to be no definitive fix. Some of the ideas people posed were deleting temp files, opening the image in it's own tab before right-clicking and selecting Save As, and toggling Compatibility View.

Is it on every website?

If the server has a misconifgured MIME entry it can do the same.

As a side note, can you upgrade to i.e.10?

Hi Symphlogy,

Yes it is on every website that this happens. I am upgrading to IE 10 today and see if that helps. If not, I will see how Firefox does.
