>>far-fetched.  Would it be possible to create a jpeg that would copy
itself to other drives on a shared network in an auto-executable

wouldn't be amazingly successful.<<

Picture a company full of users and a worm that copys the jpg file to
\\machinename\c$\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop

you think it might get a few clicks, especially if it had a harmeless
yet tempting name like saturn.jpg
