When you have almost one terra of space on your computer it is almost impossible to keep track of every single file you have copied on your hard drives. Sometimes you forget you already have a certain software or file and you download it again in a different location. Or - instead of removing the files from one drive to another - you accidentally hit the F5 key instead of F6. These are just a few examples of how duplicate files are created.

Of course, upon installing a software, duplicate files are also created. So what can you do about it? I used to manually delete the duplicates on my computer, but the chances of cleaning it in one month were so slim, that I decided to look for an automatic solution. I found it in Duplicate File Detector.


The software is a development of AL-Software team. The trial period for the software is 30 days, so you will have plenty of time to test it. After the 30 days expire, the user will have to pay $29 for further use of the application.

The interface of the application is something you do not see everyday in a software. If you do not like it, you have the option of choosing some other skin, either more soothing to your eyes or with a little more spice. But there are five skins that will definitely hurt your eyes upon longer exposure (Office XP Barbie, Gold, Green, Gold and Silver).

When you first open the application, you will notice that the window is split in two. The window on the left is a regular explorer window. The user can toggle between Explorer and Folder view. In the latter you can scan for duplicates in specified folders of the drive, while in the former the user can subject to scan entire drives.
