Try Picasa from Google. It should do what you want to do.

Should or does?

The price is right. Free!

OTOH, my time has value. It would be nice if you could have checked
to see if it actually DOES what I want.

You can down load it from www.picasa.com

Hope this helps.

"When you install Picasa, it instantly goes to work, organizing all
the pictures on your hard drive by date in the "Folders on Disk"
collection. If Picasa finds folders you don't want, go into Tools >
Folder Manager to tell it which folders to scan once, scan always or
remove. To remove individual pictures from your library, simply select
a photo and right-click to delete it permanently from your computer or
hide it from Picasa."

Sigh.

I have many thousands of photos in my archives. I don't have time or
disk space to let Picasa "organize" them - plus I'd never do that with
a beta project from Google (have no noticed how long Google Groups has
been in Beta? Noticed how there is NO support?).

OK, I've installed it and I can't find a way to have it either
automatically select the crop tool when I open the next image, or how
to select it with a keyboard shortcut. Do you know of a way?

Moving the mouse back and forth to select and then to draw the crop
frame is really annoying.
