Found a fix?
Hey,
Started looking around, and found this on Microsoft Communities:

I'm running IE 6 on Win XP, and can't get IE to save a jpeg file as
".jpg",
which is the extension recognized by everybody. IE 6 saves it only as
".jpe", an extension it doesn't recognize itself. When I open a folder
containing jpeg files saved with IE 6 with the ".jpe" extension, it
shows
the folder empty. But after I change the extension to ".jpg", IE 6 shows
the
files just fine. The really irritating thing is that the file shows on
site
as .jpg, but IE saves it as .jpe, then promptly refuses to recognize it.
Any
ideas?
And the answer:

That's not the normal behavior. Normally the extension .jpg is associated
with jpeg files.
If you know how to use regedit, navigate to the key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\image/jpeg
Check the name "Extension" in the right pane, it should be of type REG_SZ,
with Data ".jpg" if not double click it and type in .jpg
If you don't have this key at all or if you don't know how to use regedit,
copy and paste the following text into a new file and name it
"jpegfile.reg"
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\image/jpeg]
"AutoplayContentTypeHandler"="PicturesContentHandler"
"CLSID"="{25336920-03F9-11cf-8FD0-00AA00686F13}"
"Extension"=".jpg"
"Image Filter CLSID"="{607fd4e8-0a03-11d1-ab1d-00c04fc9b304}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\image/jpeg\Bits]
"0"=hex:02,00,00,00,ff,ff,ff,d8
Then double click on the file to import it into the registry.
If you already have this key, or that doesn't fix the problem, there may
be
something wrong with your ie installation. To fix, right click the file
C:\WINDOWS\INF\ie.inf and select "Install" this will "repair" your ie
installation. You will need to search your hard drive for a few files as
the procedure works through.

I am a coward. I hate playing in the reg - anyone want to try it out and tell us if it works?
