    Stop Windows from auto-saving JPG files as JFIF

    One annoying thing Windows sometimes does is save JPG files as JFIF, which is a rarely-used form of JPG, and is not recognized by many programs.

    You can stop this by doing the following... (note: edited by Druff to provide correct solution)

    1) Launch Registry Editor using Windows Search or Windows key + R pop-up window opens and type Regedit and press enter.

    2) Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT > MIME > Database > Content Type > image/jpeg

    3) In the right panel, double-click on the Extension key. Its value should read as .jfif.

    4) Change the value to .jpg and click Okay.

    5) Close the Registry Editor.


    That should fix it.

    Great post, wrong solution. Sorry, Rally. Usually you're very good, but this time you got it wrong. I edited your post above to contain the correct solution, which I just tested and verified.
