Duplicate files...

[Emmenjay]

Hi All,
I'm pretty new here, and very new to vista, so forgive me if this has been
asked before.

I recently scanned my laptop for duplicate files (using directory opus
rather than a dupe finder) and I found over 7 gig worth of files. I would
like to delete these files, but am scared that big bill (gates) and his
buddies might just decide that my precious machine should stop running.

Can someone please tell me if I can safely delete all this extra stuff or
should I just live with it?

Thanks

You are the one who sees the list of files, so YOU are the one who has
to make the decision.

You should'nt use any third party utility unless you know what the
consequences are going to be and how to undo what you have done, when your
system falls down

Hi,

Much of it is likely shadow copies and backups. Unless you specifically know
a file to be a duplicate of something you yourself have saved, you should
not delete anything - especially from system folders.

Hi!
Could anybody help me? Need very good (effective plus convinient) tool
to 'delete duplicate files'

Does anybody know something like this?
Thanks

Be cautious of any program that claims to remove duplicates. Without
common sense you could easily "delete" all your backups.

The best way to avoid having unwanted duplicates is setting up a
logical structure for your PC and sticking with it. A little time in
good housekeeping goes a long way.

I have in excess of a million files. No duplicates other than backups.
That's because every file has it's place and I know what place that
is.

You've recommended that program to others on a half-dozen occasions
over the past few months.

Why are you looking for something else now?

On a closer look, this bozo is spamming. EVERY post he/she has made
over the past few months has referenced the URL referenced here,
either mentioning a dupe remover or another file on the site - all
which must be purchased.

All i want to do is to tell about the apps i've liked very much and
i've used for more than half-year. I dont understand why im charged with
spam

People fall into two main camps in this newsgroup.

1. Normal people that understand Vista is far from perfect, flawed,
and broken in several areas.

2. Moronic fanboys that blindly praise Microsoft and deny
how screwed-up Vista is.

Guess which camp Montgomery is in.

Some dopes are actually dumb enough to think that you shouldn't post
here unless your ready to praise Microsoft to the highest and consider
this newsgroup a place of worship. Yes, they are that nuts.

Hint: This is just a newsgroup, and all viewpoints should be welcome.
Including those that factually document how messed up Vista is and
those that suggest alternatives.

Don't play stupid. You're shilling for the company that sells the
products.

ALL you do is post the same/similar message all over Usenet.
