Windows has a Search my Files Utility that will help you find your duplicate files in a special search mode that allows finding duplicate files when in Duplicate Search Mode.
A directory in DOS is like a folder in Windows: a collection of files.
The System32 directory on a Windows system is a place for storing files. The System32 directory is located in the C drive.
usually windows puts '(1)' at the end of duplicate files
If you are referring to those that appear in "My Documents" and again within the "C:" directory, these are "mirror" files ... listed twice for convenience sake, but there are not two identical files at all ... if you remove one, it is removed from both lists.You can also use programs like:Fast Duplicate File FinderEasy Duplicate Finder 4.6Duplicate cleaner 1.1Clone Cleaner Lite 1.04DoubleKiller 1.6.2.82

Use a good duplicate finder that supports Vista. There's plenty of choice.
You can search manually by right click on the folder then select "Search". Type the name of the file then windows will search for similar files. Windows will generate list of similar files which you can modify/delete. Use other tools for automated search and manage duplicate files. Duplicate Files Deleter works for me.

In Windows 95, 98, and Me, the Registry is contained in two hidden files in your Windows directory, called USER.DAT and SYSTEM.DAT.
The windows programs while doing some processes/work creates lot of junk files and deletes these junk files after completing the job. These junk files will be created in Windows\Temp directory.
In Windows 7, DLL files are typically located in the C:\Windows\System32 directory for 64-bit versions of Windows. For 32-bit DLL files on a 64-bit system, they can be found in C:\Windows\SysWOW64. Additionally, application-specific DLL files may be found in the program's installation directory.
To list all the files in a directory you would use the following: $handle = opendir('/path/to/folder'); while(($file = readdir($handle)) !== false){ // do things with files // you will want to filter out things like ., .., and .htaccess echo $file; } Also, to return a list of all the files in a directory, especially with wildcards, use something such as: $file_array = glob("*"); $files = implode("\n", $file_array); echo $files; will give you a list of all the files directly.
