if the files are saved automaticly, it depends of the program you use, just check the options

^^ Answered it up there. And if you press "Print Screen" (which I'm assuming you are 'cause you didn't name any program you might be using), it doesn't save it, you have to paste in Paint then save it yourself. In that case, just save as JPG when you go to save it.

 

 

 

As for if you're using a program, you'll have to find out how to switch it in Options.

still the problem..... is there ANYWAY to change the files that r saved in BMP to JPG other than resave every single one of them?

Oh, you didn't mention that. You can't just change it. Your best bet would have to be to re-save them then delete the BMP ones.

 

 

 

Sorry if that doesn't help, but there isn't a way to switch them without re-saving.

argh...... microsoft shoud change that already....lol

There are programs that will convert files types for you such as pictures. I was gonna post earlier but I figured it would be a useless comment since I can't remember what program I used before.

 

 

 

You could just google "BMP to JPG" and it will give you numerous sites with small programs that will do it.

Sorry then. I wasn't really thinking about third-party programs (I think that's what they're called :? ). You can't be safe about everything you download, so if you're gona, make sure you're downloading one from a safe/resourceful site.

I'd reccomend PNGs instead of JPGs, since they are better quality, but... I don't know if they would work for what you want to do.

 

 

 

Just open your files in Paint and save them with a different extension.

There's a program called PhotoElf - 14 day trial downloadable here:

It has a 'batch process' facility which is what you are looking for. I have downloaded and run the program (scanned the installer before running) and it appears safe to my security progs (Bullguard/Spybot).
