Irfanview
One of the best available free applications for Windows. It allows you to display images, galleries, convert or resize  images from a format to another, rename entire directories...in addition, it supports a very large quantity of graphic formats. It has been at the top of my Top 10 Magic Freeware for a couple of years already.

OVERALL: EXCELLENT

XnView
XnView is a utility for viewing and converting graphic files. It supports about 400 graphic formats in input and 50 formats in output, slideshows, gallery creation, and a lot of batch operations (you can modify a whole directory of picture at once). It can even create thumbnails.

Compared to Irfanview, it seems a bit slower, but with more features in batch processing. XNView in not in 10 Top Magic, since there is already Irfanview, which is very similar.

Picasa
This software helps you find, edit and share all the pictures on your PC. It also makes one-click fixes and other simple effects. You can find, move and re-name pictures, add a star rating to the photos you like more, write captions that stay with the picture even if you save it on CD or DVD, make slide shows, create movies from your photos and burn them on CDs or DVD for archiving purpose.

OVERALL: VERY GOOD

ACDSee (Shareware)
It allows you to conduct most of Infarview functions with an additional function that allows you to create galleries and save them on CD or publish on the internet. It is really a great application. However it costs $50 to do basically many of the things that Infarview can do for free.
