I want to say up front, you could not even consider me an amateur
photographer.  But I've encountered this problem more than once without a
solution.  I'm hoping someone here can offer me a solution.

After I take some digital pictures, I usually view them via Windows Picture
and Fax Viewer.  I can zoom and recentering the picture to get it just
right.  But then how can I save it with those setting so that when it's
brought up again, it will show already zoomed and centered the way I want?
The zooming and recentering is always lost and I have to do it again.  It
there any easy way to save the zoom/centering settings?  Perhaps some other
software can do this?

Thanks in advance,

No, you would have to use something that saves the actual changed image.
I like FastStone for quick edits, it's quite good, easy to use and free.
Some people like Picasa, it's also free but I don't have any experience
with it. There are some of other freebies including some that go a
little further in editing power, but you will probably be able to do
most of what you want with one of the two I named.

Nikon ViewNX does work that way... you can even position other than
center and scroll though images... this is nice for comparing matched
shots for sharpness. It's a free download. I can't say I'd recommend it
in general but that's a nice feature. All your images will have the same
zoom and position, no program will save that individually except picassa
where you would perform a crop & it saves that info without changing the
file. Unless picassa has changed it has the strange behavior of sorting
chronologically instead of by folder... which is very strange to me.
