Default Develop photos to CD, they come with bad software?

If you want software that enables you to view your pictures and make changes
such as rotating them and saving to disk so you can copy to a new CD, and
printing pictures then this is probably the best:

I have gone to Walgreens and Kodak, and had my film develped and put
on CD, and the software on the CD seems terrible. What should I do?

Is there a film processor that provides good software, mabye even
software I can use for the 3 CD's I already have?

Walgreens developed the roll backwards, so that the first picture was
the last I took, which is ok, but it was upside down, which isn't so
bad since there was a button to flip it over, but every picture was
upside down of course, and there was no button to flip them all over
at once, and every time I load the pictures, I have to flip them all
over one at a time.

Then I went to the supermarket that used Kodak processing, and the
software wouldn't let me print anything unless I copied it to the
harddrive first. That seems totally unnecessary. And it keeps trying
to transfer the whole CD to the harddrive. It says "You have 15
seconds to stop this" everytime I make any reference to the CD. Plus,
when I put the CD in a second time, it tries to install the software
again. Doesn't seem to know it's right there on the harddrive. And I
do have a second CD from months ago when I was less organaized, and it
doesn't know that the software is installed already. Is this because
I don't keep software in the default location (which has a blank space
in the directory name, which I don't like)?

The kodak files are regular .jpg at least. I didn't check on the
Walghreens.

I hate to buy third party software, when supposedly software was
included, but is there a good program? I only want to print
occasionally, since I had one or two copies of every picture on the
roll printed already.

Better yet, is there a film processor that provides good software,
mabye even software I can use for the 3 CD's I already have?

Thanks
