Seaching files in winxp yields double results, meaning, it shows the same
file twice. What can I do to change that? Please email me at

Look very carefully at what you believe to be the second result. You
should find that it is actually a shortcut to the original.
 
thank you Bob.

How can I disable this feature?

Why would you want to disable finding files? If you don't want
shortcuts, delete them. Most of them will be found in "Recent Documents".
 
thank you Bob

The second file is not a shortcut, but a duplicate. It is some sort of a
mirroring phenomenon. How can I disable this process?
 
Tools, Folders, View, Do not show hidden and system folders, and in
Search do not look in System and Hidden folders.
