I just found a free command line program that has value for organizing 
pictures and other chores.

Look at  http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ for this very 
flexible tool.

I had some questions for the author and he responded to my email, with 
answers, within a few hours.

This batch file will take photo files in a folder and copy all of them 
to new folders titled by the date the picture was taken (all are single 
line remarks and commands)
    : Make Desktop folder "1" with folder "2" inside it.
    : Copy photos from camera into "2"
    : Run this Batch
    : Result is New folders "YYYY-MM-DD" inside "1" with originals still 
in "2"
    Set Tool="C:\Program Files\exiftool-8.09\exiftool(-k).exe"
    Set Base=C:\Users\Eric\Desktop\1
    Start "" /wait %Tool% -o dummy/ -d "%Base%\%%Y-%%m-%%d" 
"-Directory<DateTimeOriginal" "%Base%\2"
