Does anyone know, what IE setting results in
showing or not showing pictures that are used
as a link?

There are no settings that distinguish images that are links from those
that are not links.

What is your real problem? And post a URL to the problem page.

I don't think it's browser's job to distinguish them from each other,
but if image is a link, and image has a visible border, the border has a
colour which is defined for a-elements in styles.
If image has no border, at least, most often, cursor changes when iamge
is hovered, but this can ( I guess) also be tampered with on stylesheet.

There are no settings that distinguish images that are links from those
that are not links.

Although you are right on this...I thought this was owned by someone
else?!?!?
You need a vacation, man!

It might be argued that that there _are_ such settings in a sense. You can
set up a user style sheet and write there, for example,
:link img, :visited img { display: none !important; }
to make the browser ignore, for display purposes, all images that are links
(or inside a link). I cannot imagine why anyone would do that, but the
distinction mention could indeed be useful, and even essentual. It's a
different question, but a much more important one. A user style sheet could
be used to _force_ the browser to show a colored border around an image that
is a link (the default rendering, which authors often want to sabotage) -
and perhaps even to omit any border around an image that is not a link, but
that would be extravagant.

The specific CSS code depends on how you would like to have image links
rendered.

What is your real problem?

It's presumably something completely different, but we'll see.

I contemplated mentioning user CSS, but the PO said "IE setting", Does
IE even have a preference stylesheet like Gecko?

Do you mean such as:
Tools > Internet Options > Click the Accessibility button

Fill in the name of the CSS file somewhere on your computer.
But be careful; other things besides the browser use it. Like the
desktop.

Oh wait ... this is IE, the Operating System component!

Hence my ignorance, for me it's strictly an Operating System component!

Right. The name "Accessibility" is misleading, since this is surely not
_only_ about accessibility.

Pardon? Which features are you referring to, or are you joking?

Joking? No. I had recently set up an IE user style sheet on this W2K
box, adding:

body {
background: #EDEDED !important;
}

This background color now appears in the desktop setting of the
wallpaper image (right-click desktop, choose Properties, General tab)
and interferes with the choosing of an image file.
