In some folders, particularly those containing images, when I open
them I find that some of the files have been duplicated more than
once. e.g. there can be an imageA.jpg, a "copy of imageA.jpg" a "copy
(2) of imageA.jpg", ad "copy(3) if imageA.jpg" etc. This happens in
any folder under My Pictures, but also in such places as folders which
are part of othre applications. These are true duplicates (not short
cuts) and they hold the same basic file name differing only in that
the name is preceded by the "Copy of" phrase.
This has happened with XP ever since I first installed it, it
continues to do so under SP2, and I have seen it on other XP systems
owned by friends.
Does anyone know what causes this? ... and if so, how to stop it?
