Apparently, under XP, even if you explicitly add ".jpg" to the filename in the save dialog, it deletes it from the file.

I'm a Mac guy so I'm not up on Windows extensions, but does XP remove (at least from the user's view) file extensions, even though it knows internally what the file type is?

===========
Windoze management, in their infinite Wisdom regarding what users SHOULD see by default , decided that showing file extensions is a bad idea in general. Therefore, the default mode is for extensions (at least for "known file types") to be turned off. The extensions are NOT DELETED; they are simply not displayed. Also, the default display setting for the file information for System and Hidden files is to not be displayed. So, be aware that if you think you are "hiding" a file by setting its attribute to hidden, you don't hide it from everyone.
