Irfanview can do it in Home Premium, and no reboot is required. (I
just now tried it.) I'd be interested to hear whether it can do it in
Starter also.
Irfanview is a free image-viewing and -editing utility that can do
everything up to and including red-eye correction in photos. I use
it quite often, and have been happy enough with it that I sent a
voluntary contribution.
