Lower case file extension in MS Paint

I'm using MS Paint on WinXP at work, for capturing simple screenshots.
Problem: MS Paint always wants to save in BMP format.
How can I set PNG to be Paint's default file-saving format?

Note: Suggestions about other software are irrelevant. I know there are many other software tools available. But I'm asking specifically about MS Paint.

Doesn't really help you if you are on XP, but Paint on Vista and 7 both use PNG as the default save format. – Nick Feb 21 '11 at 17:38

I'm afraid this is not possible, based on this answer to a related question. It would be good if someone can confirm this.
