jpeg is the extension, not the filename, and ever since Windows 95, Windows has been able to handle both long filenames and extensions. My Windows systems will recognize and display files just fine if they have a .jpeg extension. I don't know about others, it might be necessary to establish an association with the extension first. (I use ACDSee for most of my image viewing, and it establishes a number of associations, so I don't know if that's where the association is being made. A bare Windows system will use Internet Exploder to view jpeg files. Honestly, I think IE knows what .jpeg means too.) However, if the file doesn't have an extension, Windows systems generally aren't sure what to do with them. ----- Jeffrey J.
