In Folder Options -> Filetypes, what application is associated to the
PNG filetype?

I have been able to solve the problem. It was a permisson problem in the
Registry.
The user (or group) has to have permission to read the Registry Key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Mime\Database\Content Type

That did it for me
(Windows XP SP2 - IE7)

Whew ! 2 days of hard intense labour to look for an solution. Could I bill
this to Microsoft ? :-)

PNG images are not displayed on Web sites in Internet Explorer:

Sorry for this flame, but now I'm getting a little bit mad.
All I see to fix this problem is the stupid link that you put in your
reply, and another one, which is even more stupid :
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283807/en-us

Here, they say : <quote>Verify that the image type is supported by Internet
Explorer
Right-click the red X or the placeholder for the image, and then click
Properties. Verify that the image type is supported by Internet Explorer by
examining the Type or Address (URL) values in the Properties dialog box. For
example, a Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) file lists GIF Image for the
Type value. The Address (URL) value ends with .gif. Internet Explorer
displays images with .art, .wmf, .emf, .png, .mov, .xbm, .avi, .mpg, .gif,
..jpg, .mpeg, and .bmp extensions. <quote>

Well, yes, indeed that was the case when I run IE7 under a normal user
account, so what next ? ??? Well ??

Luckily I've found out for myself how to fix it, so please, next time have
the decency to ask if the user has tried the link you post, in stead of just
blindly posting it ! We're not stupid you know !
