I would imagine that somewhere in the depths of GPO's you could prevent
saving of all files for the public / generic login. That would work
would it not? I could have sworn I saw something to that effect.
You could do something to the effect of hiding all of the drives and
then lock out all of the my computer stuff, hide tool bars, all the
icons except for the one they need to load the m-fiche, etc. Map a
printer and call it a day. :)

I am pretty sure that there is no mechanism in a JPG file itself for
this.
I can't say whether there is a way inside a webserver for this.
However, if you made them available as PDF files, there IS a mechanism
for
this. And if compression options are chosen well, a PDF should be only
slightly larger than the JPG contained within.
