JPG file type

I am trying to save a number of jpg files to my desk top by right clicking on
the file and choose save picture as...., a prompt came up with a file name
box and a save as type box. I can only input into the file name box but not
the save as type box. The box is blank with no drop down options nor allow
me to input the jpg file type. How do I fix the save as type box which would
reinstate the drop down options or allow me to input the applicable file type
(although I can manually add .jpg to the file name on the file name box but
that's only band-aid and I still need to fix the save as type box on a
permanent basis) ?

Start/run, type: cleanmgr

Delete your TEMP files.

No, it has nothing to do with TEMP files as I have 0 file there.
Thanks.

Sorry, it isn't clear to me what you are trying to do. Do these files
start out as jpg files (with the jpg extension) or are you trying to
change them to jpg files?

If you are trying to change the type of a picture from jpg to
something else, or from something else to jpg, you need to be aware
that what you have to do is a lot more than just change the extension
part of the name to or from jpg. It's not the name that's critical,
its what's in the file itself that's critical. To do this, you need to
open the file in a program that has the ability to make the change you
want, and then use that program to change the type--*not* just the
name.

As an analogy, if you buy a Ford automobile and on the part of the car
where it says "Ford," you paint over it and change it to "Chevrolet,"
you've changed its name, but you haven't made it a Chevrolet.

OK, what you want is a graphics editor that can convert filetypes. I suggest
the free download of this great application for converting picture files to
other filetypes.

IrfanView - one of the most popular viewers worldwide:

The files I am trying to save are jpg files and I am not trying to change
anything, just saving them in the same type and extension to my desktop but
unfortunately the save as type box is inactive and doesn't have drop-down
extension options or allow manual type-in.

OK, good.

Then I'm not sure how you're trying to do this. There shouldn't be any
"save as type box."

There's more than one way to do this, but if you want them on your
desktop, here's an easy way: just right-drag them there from wherever
they are. When you release the right mouse button, you'll be asked
whether you want to move, copy, or create a shortcut. Just choose
copy. The result will be that their names and extensions will be
identical to the way they were.

The files are all jpg files and I didn't try to change the file extension. I
simply tried to save them in the same format and extension as the original on
my desktop but unfortunately the save as type box is inactive and there is no
drop-down option for extension types or permit manual type-in.

No, I just want to save the file in the same jpg format.
