    There are api calls to set it. If you use a jpg, it is converted to a bmp by windows anyway.

    I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but you can change the file format of any picture as follows:

    img.Save(picturesPath, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg)

    Hope that helps,
    Yun
