For general files, I can't help you. But there is a nice Windows program to detect duplicate image files. The best part about it is you can detect approximate similarity too (one image is larger than another but otherwise identical; one image is 99% the same as the other; etc.). It's called Dup Detector.

It's a pretty common feature for anything that digs through disks. Quite a few options if you google dupe finder or similar. <a href="http://zabkat.com/x2down.htm">xplorer2</a> does a good job. The free version doesn't include dupe finding, but the pro version is free for 3 weeks. Might do what you need.

I had a lot of duplicates of my music collection. Tried some software who would generate a MD5 checksum without results,so I ended up using the search feature of Windows Explorer. I knew that the duplicate files had "(" in their filename, and ".wma" as their extension. Search, select all (after proof reading), delete. Big smile
