Default Windows freeware to lock in a 3: or 4:3 aspect ratio for cropping

I generally crop in Irfanview because it's so very fast & super easy
(click, click, crop), but there is no way to lock the aspect ratio for that
crop to 4:3 in Irfanview, nor in Pinta, MS Paint, or Paint 3D freeware.


In Irfanview:
# Create a pre-selection for your crop by Click&Drag with your mouse.
(Be sure, the upper left corner starts on the correct position.)
# Press Shift+c to get the CustomCrop dialog.
# Adjust the Crop to 3:2 ratio (or whatever ratio you like) and click
the button SaveAndDrawOnImage
# Fine-tune the extent of your crop by dragging the borders of the crop
with your mouse while *keeping the Alt key pressed*.
# If need be: Re-position the crop area by dragging it with the *right*
mouse button.

HTH.
