Have you reported this "bug" to Microsoft?

You cannot get anything meaningful by trying to read a jpg file in that way. Take a look at Image.FromFile Method (System.Drawing) | Microsoft Docs[^].

Well, the great news is that the guys who've spent the last 13 years "improving" ms office are being transferred to the VS team.

I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Convenience as always at odds with security. That much is a given. And yes, you've come up with a great example. NTFS can be very secure with ACLs. But ACLs can be difficult to manage in the real world. And UAC is just MS locking down the OS so it's more like Linux. And you're also absolutely right about Android having watered down Linux's built-in security for the sake of convenience. Android's gotta be one of the least secure systems you can run anything on these days.
