I have a few .jpg that insist on enabling active desktop in order to display

This is always a problem in post-IE4 Win9x. It's because these files
are JPEG, and Win9x can only use .BMP for wallpapers unless it invokes
ActiveDesktop. Use a graphics utility such as Irfan View, ACDC or
your fave heavyweight pixel-chaser to SaveAs your JPEG as .BMP
