Rob,
I have Nikon View 6 that I used before getting a dedicated memory card reader. Nikon View won't change your images from NEF to JPeg. You would need to open the Nikon Editor tool or another editor and actually convert your RAW or NEF file to JPeg.
I didn't realize that you had a Nikon. Nikon View will also give you the exif data you mentioned in the first post.
Also, if you haven't done so already, visit the Nikonian forum for great information. I found the Nikonians to be a little more easy going as compared to DPreview.
