Tools - IrfanView

IrfanView is a free image viewer. It's pretty lightweight and very customizable with the number of plugins available for it. With the proper plugins, it can play mp3s or even movies, become an image editor or open a pdf file. I don't use those features, though since I have other programs doing that already.

But one thing that IrfanView has that I like very much is that it can perform batch editing. You can rename/convert/resize several items at once. Pretty useful to keep your images (or other files) properly organized.
