I don't know the answer to your question, but I've asked the Microsoft security folks for some way to turn off automatically opening WMF files in IE. I made my query 3 or 4 WMF bugs ago, but got no reply.
Here's my new question: Can WMF images and auto-executing exploit code be embedded in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files?

There were other big problems in years past in the loading of these files. Can anyone recall if the defaults for IE were changed with respect to loading these files, perhaps from an IFRAME? Thanks.
