Looking for a basic "duplicate file name finder" app.

[Al Dykes]

Does anyone use a free duplicate file finder that they like?



I know there are lots out there but when I went to download.com and

searched, I got 800 hits. When I tried the "most popular" according

to it's ratings, they turned out to be trial-ware. The most popular

tool seems to do everything *but* find duplicate filenames. It wanted

to "clean up my system".



Thanks.

Very nice and I'll use it but it's missing one feature; when I

said filename I meant filename. I want to seach a huge file system for

all FOO where this can be FOO.jpg, FOO.Crw, FOO.PSD, etc. Maybe theer

is a way to do this.



I'll sign up to the forums and see if there is some way.

At a Command Prompt:



cd\

dir foo.* /s >c:\foo.txt



look in the c:\foo.txt file for the results.
