Every time I want to save some image I paste into the Paint application,
it chooses a BMP/DIB format (which is the worst for saving things from the clipboard).

How can I hack this Windows pbrush application into defaulting to a JPEG format save always?

If it matters I am using Windows XP SP3 and Paint 5.1 at the moment.
But, I thought the hack would be generic, and I'd like to do this across all my Windows machines.
