Right-click to save pictures as well as BMP only

Scope of application: Internet Explorer
remind:
It is still a hot issue today, and it is still common even in the environment of Windows XP and IE 6. It seems to be the fate of Internet Explorer.

question:
"When you right-click to save the picture (or save a new file), the file type can only save BMP files. What's going on? You can save JPG or GIFs in the past."
answer:
Temporary Internet Files This phenomenon may occur if the folder space is not enough, so resizing the size of the Temporary Internet Files                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       �
one:
Clear the contents in the Temporary Internet Files folder. Temporary Internet Files is like your trash can, and you must have the habit of cleaning it regularly. Many people don’t know that this folder needs to be cleaned regularly, so it often affects the performance of IE and the waste of hard drive space.
·Tools>>Internet Options (or Tools>>Internet Options)
· In the "Temporary Internet Files" in "General", press "Delete Files". (Note 1)
Test whether it is normal. If the situation remains the same, continue to perform step 2 and adjust the size of Temporary Internet Files.
two:
The Temporary Internet Files folder is set too large (such as the entire disk is made of cache), or it is too small, which is disproportionate to your hard drive capacity (such as a 4 or 5 GB hard drive, if you only give 1 or 2 MB of cache) is easy to cause this problem. We need to readjust the size of the hard drive space occupied by Temporary Internet Files.
·Tools>>Internet Options (or Tools>>Internet Options)
· In the "Temporary Internet Files" in "General", press "Settings".
· Adjust the size of the Temporary Internet Files If it is too large, reduce it a little. If it is too small, adjust it a little. I don’t know how much it should be suitable, because it has something to do with your hard capacity. In short, the ratio should not be too disparity.
It is recommended to test it by reducing the volume first. For example, if you originally set it to occupy 1200MB, you can change it to 600MB for testing.
suggestion:
You might as well call "clean the Temporary Internet Files folder when the browser ends" to avoid the hassle of having to clean Temporary Internet Files frequently.
How to do it:
Go to Tools >> Internet Options >> Advanced, in the security section, check: "When the browser ends, clean the Temporary Internet Files folder" and press OK.

Note 1:
Delete Temporary Internet Files Please delete it at IE's tool >> Internet options. Please try to avoid directly deleting the things under the Temporary Internet Files folder with the archive manager, which can avoid unpredictable phenomena.
