Do you have any idea how many duplicates you have on your computer? How many times have you bumped into the same file over and over again into multiple locations on your drive? I do not know how other people create duplicate files, but in my case, the most frequent reason for which this happens is that I tend to press the wrong key when moving files from one location to another (instead of "Move" shortcut I press "Copy" shortcut). Of course that this is just one answer as in the case of music files the mistake is even more frequent.A friend of mine asked me why should he hunt down the dupes on the drive if he has enough space to do whatever he needs to do and he does not feel disturbed by their presence? As unusual as it may sound to some users, dupes have the ability of bringing your computer down to a crawl. The reasoning is simple: they are files, so they participate to disk fragmentation. They can also affect the registry as the same file has a double location in Windows Registry. Not to mention that they influence disk read/write activity.They may not seem like much, but sometimes they can really make a difference in your computer's performance. Not to mention that you can never say that there is too much space on your disks (well, maybe you can say this right before you get accustomed to that free space and little by little you start adding files and filling it up).1-abc.net Duplicate Finder, an easy solution to get rid of the duplicates on your computer, comes at a price of $19.99 and the trial period is 10 days. Besides time trial there is absolutely no other limitation to the evaluation version so you can properly test its accuracy.
Working with the application will not give you too much headache, either, as all you have to do is choose the location that should be checked for duplicates and set the parameters of the search. Mind that 1-abc.net Duplicate Finder can also look in external drives as well as on CDs, DVDs, USB sticks and camera cards, not only on local drives.
Options menu is in tone with the entire application limiting user's input to checking boxes for the parameters of the search. If you are expecting full power when it comes to detecting duplicates, take a look at the pictures below. 1-abc.net Duplicate Finder is quite limited to the general search options for this kind of software providing a shallow suite of alternatives.
You can look for files with identical names, same size, identical file attributes, exactly the same creation and modification date or with the same date of last access. These are all the options you will benefit from. Unfortunately, this is not enough for finding duplicate files as it seldom happens to save the same song under different file names and surely, it will not often happen to access them in a single day, or even acquire them the same day. Also, many files share the same attributes so there is little relevance in this case, too.
