Duplicate Files\File Management

mooby_cow · 10-10-2006, 10:19 AM

Dear All,

I'm new to the boards to I appologize in advance if this is posted in the wrong discussion group.

I'm looking for advice on any good utilitys for finding duplicate files. I work at a small\medium buisness with a large marketing dept. Anyone who knows marketing depts will know they are really fond of large files (movies\presentation\high res images etc). The problem I have is they are a nightmare for organizing files and have been using not so great utilitys for checking duplicate files. On top of that we use Lotus Notes and they also like to email the files rather than using the shared drive which I have set up for them. Any ideas other than breaking legs?

Thanks

Begin by breaking fingers, if that does not work move to legs. If that does not work break your own fingers, still not working, break your own legs. Still not working, stay home you can't walk or type anyways.

Thanks OMG. I've downloaded that so I'll give it a go.

How am I going to break my legs if I've broken my fingers? Should be the other way round ?

I was thinking installing electric shock pads in the arm rests of the chairs and giving them a burst of juice when they don't archieve or manage their network drives? Maybe a bit extremme - don't know.

A good utility for finding duplicate files is Directory Report.
It has been tested on drives containing over 450,000 files and 140 gigabytes
It has other features: directory printer, rename files, and more
