Default Image Sorting & Filing Programs.

I wonder what or if there is a consensus on the most effective sorting program. I'm using Picasa and am only moderately satisfied with it. I've tried Infranview and recently tried to download Preclick Gold, because someone recommended it. Unfortunately it jammed up when trying to install my pictures. It stopped at about the 75% mark of my 7200 pictures. The support people for Preclick said that I probably had a corruped image file. I think that would be a bit tough to find.
I sometimes find that sorting in My Pictures is as easy as anything else.
Thoughts or comments, please!

I've tried a few options still haven't found a decent system - I did use photoimpact album for a while with reasonable success. The problem I found was whatever package used requires extensive manual intervention to file, keyword etc.

Currently I use my pictures to store the images (jpegs) in custom folders - i.e. bird photos under Birds. I use the original file name and number given by the camera (all shots taken in RAW). I then browse in photoshop and use it's "file info" meta data to add additional keywords. If I wish to find a picture I can then either browse through the folder or perform a keyword search in photoshop.

The RAW files I transfer to CD (2 copies) in numerical batches and only bring these out if I need the image for something and I feel the original JPEG I created could be improved (which is probably most of them because I've taken a poor shot in the first place!).
