For image viewing, simple editing and batch resampling and/or renaming, I haven't seen anything that holds a candle to Irfanview.

Irfanview is much more than a simple image viewer, but it works extremely well for that and can go from image finder/thumbnail viewer to slide show presentation is just a mouse click or two.
However, the broswer you use to surf the web and ask questions like this, is a quick and dirty image viewer -- just click File/Open and open the image file you wish to view.
The last version of Windows I have any real familiarity with has built-in image viewing capabilities for most image formats -- Windows 7, due out next month advertises how easy it is to manipulate text and images with native Windows 7 features.

In Firefox and Google Chrome (this will probably work with other browsers, but I don't use them. So, I can't say for certain)
you can simply drag the folder with the images you want to view onto the browser, et voilą!
If you drag an individual image onto the browser page, it will, of course, simply show the image.

Life was less intimidating before computers and the web. Geez, we didn't even have a color tv or cable when I was growing up. |

I didn't have cable either. The powers that be in my hometown conducted an extended study to see which cable provider would most generously grease their palms. Thus, we didn't have cable until the late 1980s. However, we did have a computer in the house from about 1978 on.
FYI: I'm back to not having cable, as I don't own a television anymore. As far as I'm concerned, television has gone the way of the land-line phone and the CD/DVD player.

I have Direct TV instead of cable. My one vice is watching the St. Louis Cardinals, and thru DTV I get to watch them fairly often. Commercial TV bores the shit out of me. |

I had Direct TV for a while--no, wait--it was Dish Network. The reception was, unlike cable, perfect and without interruption. I only had a problem with it once, in the middle of an ice storm. But, I reached out the window and wiped the dish off, and, oddly, it never iced up again.
I don't watch much television now. Anything that I really want to see, I download and watch on a 30" widescreen monitor... which is plenty big enough for me. For example, I'm watching Mad Men s03e06--and having a cocktail--on my other monitor as I type this

For me satellite TV has great reception unless there is heavy cloud cover. I tend to watch IFC and the Sundance channel most. And a few news programs. |

Yes. I also have folders full of frog pictures, wool blazer pictures and French movie poster pictures. That's how I organize images.

That's what I was alluding to. Excepting that one ice storm (which glazed the dish over with a thin shell of ice) the weather never affected the reception of my Dish Network dish in the slightest. Admittedly, I was on the 20th floor of an apartment overlooking a river and extreme southwestern Ontario, Canada beyond to the south (so, I had a very clear line of sight to the satellite over the equator.) But, that doesn't explain why snow, clouds, thunder storms and the like never affected my reception.
