If you read the details on this, all the affected components are
Microsoft ones, such as IE, Outlook, Picture-It!, etc.   Nothing about
Mozilla, Eudora, Photoshop, etc.   The OS is not typically what opens
a JPEG file, or even knows that it's a JPEG.   Applications do that. 
If the OS itself has any knowledge that what it's processing is a JPEG
file then Microsoft is even worse than I ever imagined.
