Very good advise Mary.
Chris, with thumbnail enabled, go to "view" and click View > Arrange Icons > By Name............. This will show up every duplicate which will make deleting copies a breeze. Absolutely NO NEED to download a program which will probably confuse you.

I have several folders (about two dozen) of different categories of craft photographs. I ran DD and it found many duplicates with different names which I had downloaded at different times and often renamed for ease of finding.
Note though that the match criteria can be set. At 80% (apparently a default level) it thought that pictures in a developmental series, each only marginally different, were identical and it would have been easy to simply click on delete. At 95% it recognised the difference in the sequences. Nice tool.

164011 2003-09-19 04:36:00 Hey Chris if you havent already found a program to sort out your duplicate photos? Try clonespy (www.clonespy.de)
Ive just tried it & I was very pleased with the results & its free.

Hope this helps

Cheers Steve
