When I entered photos into new Vista machine, I entered many duplicates.
(they were stored on multiple CDs. and often in duplicate)

Is there a way to ask that duplicates be eliminated? Otherwise I have to
manually go through hundreds of photos to delete.

I use a program called Duplicate File Finder....

Thanks Dave. I am glad there is such a file out there, but am having a
problem. I downloaded from the two sites that popped up from the link, but
when I tried to open the zip file(s) it said they were invalid. Can you help
with that?

I'm not sure why you have that problem. I downloaded the files with both
Firefox and IE7, and the zip files opened ok. Can you go to the folder
where you saved the zip file, and open it there?

I did that, unblocked the file, but IE just kept blinking as it tried to
open it???
