Anywho, when i click on a wallpaper it loads in IE and, after :set to desktop: i like to save it for later use but it always saves as a BMP and i cant select any other format.

I think usually when you do this it gives you the option of saving as a BMP (for wallpaper) and as the file format the image is already in. However since most wallpapers are actually BMPs, a lot of wallpaper sites only have their images available in BMP format, therefore you'll only be able to save it as a BMP - you'll need to use a picture program to change the format the image is saved in.

Another option is just to save it and then open it up with your photoediting software, or even Paint, and then select what format to save it in from there.	Jen C (20)
