Any good free applications for that ?
Would be nice if it worked on Windows XP but not mandatory.

OK... Here's a question for you...

Are you 100% sure the *contents* of two or more files with the same name
are identical? If you are, then there's no reason for you or anyone to
read any further.

My brother-in-law takes more photos than most people do. He used to
reload bulk film into empty film cartridges.

Now, thanks to digital cameras, he has thousands of photo files.

Many of the files he would tweak with some photo program, and then save
the file to a different location, using the same filename. Plus he's
moved some of the photos around so many times, he has duplicates all
over the place. And he has no idea which file is the original.

And now, he wants to get rid of all the duplicates! He's having to open
them all to see which ones he wants to keep.

Rather daunting, wouldn't you say? G

I sure hope you are in this situation!

There are programs for finding "similar" images
in a collection.

But that's about the only help the computer can
provide, which is entirely free of side effects.

Many other things you might decide to do, will
be hard work.
