It's a Mac-only feature of MacIE:

: Are these

: downloaded to your desktop.  Okay, I went to my IE and downloaded a 
: picture of Helen Hunt (A4T73OA0KV50}@HPY{{H[Y.jpg). 
: Control/click/download to disk.   The download icon is Preview and says 
: JPEG. I dragged the jpeg to iPhoto and it immediately turned into the 
: photo picture.  I opened iPhoto and clicked on import and retrieved the 
: picture into iPhoto. Simple.

Noel, I don't know if there is a way to extract items in IE's Scrapbook
via external apps.  You might have to do it manually in IE.  So with
each item in the Scrapbook, open it up, then save it or drag it to your
preferred folder.
