I would try right clicking on the picture and checking the security tab
and see if you have full control under your log-in. Check the "advance"
also, I have never fooled with this, my name has full control. I would
suspect that you don't have full control. ( Could be wrong here, just a
stab in the dark)
Hope this helps. If not I am sure someone else will have the answer.

FINALLY! I had the same problem, and think I found an answer - at least,
this worked for me...

It sounds crazy, but... copy all of the web / internet shortcuts that
are on your desktop to a folder on your desktop called test (or anything
else).

Now try double clicking on a JPG image (assuming Windows Photo Gallery
is still your default application.)

*If that works - PLEASE post a reply here.*

Then, one by one, copy the shortcut files back to the desktop - double
clicking the JPG file each time to see when this happens again. When you
find the offending shortcut, copy it's URL and delete the file. Then
try double clicking the file again.

Again - if this works, please post here.
