There’s no native way I know of. I’ve always used FreeImage for JPGs and PNGs – it’s robust and there’s example code in the FAQ on how to load a PNG into an HBITMAP (which works exactly the same for a JPG).
One word of warning from experience – if you’re storing your JPG as a resource, make sure you create a “JPG” resource type and store it as that, don’t try and add it as a BITMAP resource or you’ll have all sorts of problems trying to load it. I know it sounds obvious but it took me a while to figure out.
