Need help converting ithmb pics to jpg

We just got back from vacation and most of our pictures were taken with the iPhone4. The problem is, when we moved the pics to our PC, they won't open. Any idea how to convert them? From what I've read in a few online posts, I'd have to download at least two programs to do it.

iOS 4

bmuccio,
The other two are both right, but Allan didn't give you all of the help you need on getting the jpgs and Diva's answer would drive me nuts converting one by one. The key is to not use the Itunes interface from your PC to transfer the files, but use Windows Explorer. The iPhone will be connected just like any other camera would be and you can access it as such. I run windows XP and had to actually right click on the iPhone device and select "Get pictures" from the menu. Final item of note is that any video you took comes in as a .MOV file, so those are pretty standard as well. Not sure why I-Tunes doesn't just copy them in jpg in the first place, but I hope this helps (drove me nuts for a few hours until I figured this out as well).
