Look in registry for that extension to see which application in associated with it. This is a 2 step process.
Manually search your registry for .jpg and see an application associated with the jpg files. Then look for that application and you will find its path. If you cannot find that extension in registry or the key associated is an empty string, then no application is associated with it.
