Most picture viewers would include simple cropping function that merely require you to specify one corner of the crop area and dragging the mouse to the opposite corner.

If you haven't got Picasa2, you can try to download a free copy from the internet and give it a try.

However, if you want a little more control over the crop area, like you change your mind and want to crop a larger area, or just extending one side to include something that is missed out, you can try a cropping software such as Photo Gadget Pro.

There is a short article explaining the different ways of cropping pictures using Photo Gadget Pro at this location which incidentally also allows you to download the software.

The easiest cropping software to use would be Kodak Picture CD.
If you log on to Kodak's site at http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-path=9/511/647&pq-locale=en_US
you will find simple explanation like ".... Just zoom in on the part of your picture you want and crop out the rest."

There is nothing simpler than that.

Bukit is right on. Picasa is the way to go and it's free by google. ALso recommend Adobe Photoshop Elements.
As for Kodak's software. BLOATWARE plain and simple. Worthless as a photo editor.

Go Picasa.

I remember Picassa... I used to use it years ago, before google had it. It was mostly just some simple image tools available with a right-click back then. Good to hear it's still around and still free and has greatly improved.
I wish more people used Linux, then I could suggest DigiKam/ShowPhoto which is very excellent software for editing and cataloguing images. Its crop function is awesome. You can drag a selected area and then choose crop, or you can choose aspect-ratio crop and choose from a variety of aspect ratios and even custom ones. Ratios of 1:1, 2:3, 3:4, 4:5, 5:7, 7:10, 'golden ratio', 'custom' and 'none' are available in both landscape and portrait mode. Makes it really easy to keep the aspect ratio you want, where a freehand selection is a rough estimate, or a lucky grab at best.
Maybe later this year, when the KDE4 desktop becomes available for Windows and Mac, this program will be made available to everyone... along with other great and free KDE software.
KDE is built on QT code, by the makers of the QTopia desktop for mobile devices.

Try Picasa2 from Google before spending money on anything else.
