No.
And when you think about it, it wouldn’t work so well, because Cropping must conform to pixel dimensions, whereas Guides have no such restraint.
Thank you for your quick response. I’m just scanning in a bunch of pictures and was hoping there was an easier way to get rid of the extra white space around the image.

Christine,
If truly just "extra white space", would the Trim command take care of what you need to do? Being based upon the color of a pixel at a specified corner, it will only trim in until a different color, however slight, is encountered. So, the trim may not actually be as tight a crop as desired, but it may be worth a try.

Have you tried using the File>Automate>Crop and Straighten Photos command?
It’s the best bit of magic Adobe have ever come up with for anyone scanning a number of photographs. I will do exactly what you want and you can even put several photos on the scanner platten at the same time.
Chris,
I haven’t tried that. I’ll give ‘er a try. Thanks for the suggestion!
Christine,
Is it possible in Photoshop CS2 to create guide lines around an image and then have it crop using those lines?
Perhaps this will help (ease) your workflow.
After you place your guides around an image, check View> Snap To> Guides and select Crop tool.
Place the cursor in the Top-Left corner of the Rulers intersection and drag until "temporary guide lines" snap to your top and left Guides
let the mouse button go, click again and keep dragging until bottom and right guides snap
you should have the Crop tool outlines right where you want them.
Alternately you could use this technique without Guides to place Crop lines very precisely (using temporary guide lines) while you drag.
