Need a *very* easy to use Image editor

I'm looking for a very easy to use image manipulator for my mum. She is not very good using computers. She can use it to do a few things if she writes down the steps involved.

She has a digital camera, and can transfer the photos to the hard drive, and browse through them.

However, to do anything with them, she needs me to do it for her, and I don't want to teach her how to use photoshop; it's too complicated.

So any reccomendations? The package only needs a minimum of functionality:

Resize, Rotate and Crop.
Compress for email

Print:
It would be nice to be able to get see the image in relation to the page, and move it around and resize it. The ability to print more than one image on a page would also be nice.

Would be nice to have the ability to add captions, but thats not really important.

Again, ease of use is the top priority: A "Wizard" style interface would be ideal.

Preferrably the software should be free, or at least have a 30-day demo available.

I have heard that IrfanView is good. Anyone vouch for it?

Thanks.
