Identify and purge the duplicate files
I'm running out of storage space. When I look at My Documents & Settings it seems that there is a lot of duplicates and files. Is there a process to identify duplicate files and purge them in Window XP?

AllDup allows you to find the files duplicated on one or several folders or drives. You can choose to match files by size, date, attributes and content comparison byte by byte and also various settings to exclude certain file types or the search folders. AllDup then analyze selected records and produce a list of all files duplicate was found. The list is organized into groups, which makes it easy to manage results and process the files. You can manually select the files that you consider to be duplicates, or you can use the options of Intelligent selection that allows you to automatically select the files based on their date or folder. Duplicate files can be processed in different ways, you can choose to delete, move or copy them to a different folder or rename them in their current location. Other features include export search results, customized search profiles, a built-in file extract, ID3 tags support and more.

I have to remove the duplicate files, but having problems by selecting more than one file in the player at the time. How can I select multiple files at the same time so I can just delete them. I used to be able to do this in previous versions of Media Player, but this function seems now blocked or unavailable. The problem is this: through previous use of media player, it plays all my multimedia files several times whenever a device support has been added. He would try to save the files on my main drive, but since there is not enough room this would save the files somewhere else. This happened several times, I suppose, because when I upgraded my computer and a media scan was conducted he found duplicates of all my media various times of at least 6-8. I've consolidated since my plates on 3-disc multi to, but have now records duplicated hundreds and thousands of duplicate media files. Previous versions of Media Player would allow me to select all files and then delete them both of the reader, but also from my hard drive. So now I'm stuck with more than 300 GB of duplicate media I have to search line by line through all my hard drives to find each duplicate both, unless I can get media player to do what it can. Any help in this area would be appreciated.
Hello
1. did you of recent changes on the computer?
2. is Windows media player files in double creation during playback of music files?
To delete duplicate entries, click on another feature tab in the drive (for example the current playback), and then click library.
If this does not remove duplicates from your library, you can use the Add to library dialog box to search computer to analyze a file on your computer the duplicate entries not valid-pointing. The player will remove invalid entries in your library that point to files that no longer exist in the folder.Complete the steps above for files that are stored in the hard disks.
Method 1: Use the add to Library dialog box search for computers
(a) start Windows Media Player.
(b) press F3 on your keyboard to open Add to the library of the find computers dialog box.(c) click the Browse button to locate the folder on your computer so that your library contains invalid entries. Specify the location of the folder in the box look in.
If you are not sure what duplicate in your library entry is not valid, you can add a path column to display in your library. Specify the folder on your computer that corresponds to the path not valid file displayed in your library.
(d) click on the Search button.The player will search for digital media files and playlists in the folder that you specify and remove invalid entries in your library that point to files that no longer exist in the folder. If not valid in double entries point to other folders on your computer, repeat this procedure, specify a different folder every time.
If only a small number of duplicate entries exist, you can delete those invalid manually by right-clicking on the invalid entry, and then clicking Delete .
For large double-number of entries in your library (or if all your library is duplicated), it might be better to create a new library and delete the files.Method 2:
After you remove the duplicate entries, run the troubleshooting of Windows Media Library settings to solve this problem.
Open the troubleshooter in Windows Media Library

My main system crashed. I have a copy of the profile. When I move a copy of the profile in the profiles folder and edit the ini file to use the new name, I get a message that there is an instance of thunderbird running and I need to shut it down. I don't see any instance of thunderbird anywhere in the Task Manager. It happens just for me the fact that I am also in firefox may be the cause of the problem to a running instance. I'm under V31.7.0
I tried to simply move the mail directory in the existing profile. The thing is that I don't see the old messages. I can see all of the subfolders of the Inbox on the left but not messages in the right pain. I can see new messages, but it's all in the Inbox and not filtered to the subfolder.
I tried to activate the function of multiple profile but that doesn't seem to work.
MY BAD
It seems that I had something that was bad in the profile. I got the profile from a backup and now Thunderbird works fine.Sorry that I missed the problem earlier.

The answer is that all of your files, folders, and programs should remain in their normal form. However, backup your personal files is always a good idea.

When I download compressed files, they go to the local level > temp location, when I extracted all the files, they are sent to the My Documents folder. Can I go to local > temp location and delete the zip file? Knowing that I still have the data in the My Documents folder.
Once they are checked, of course. If you want to keep a backup, you can move the zip file in your documents folder.
In fact, you can delete everything in the temporary folder that is not currently in use. Best time to do this removal is immediately after the start, before launching other applications.

With previous versions, I could press control (mac) and click on a layer, and he would choose this graph, what form it was. Then I could go to image-culture and reframe the entire file down to that size. Now, this feature is missing. What is the new way to do this?
This is the command key, not the control key for a Mac that you use on the layer.

I export to PDF, but can't seem to download and open the PDF files. I need to download something?
Hi Lisa,
To download PDF files, you have nothing else except a web browser.
However, to open the pdf file that is downloaded, you certainly need to download Acrobat Reader: Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC DistributionKind regards

Problems of conversion of PDF to MS Word document. I managed to convert 4 files and now the subsequent files generate a "Conversion failed" error when you try to convert the file. I have a big manuscript and I separated each chapter to help the conversion; as I said, the first 4 pieces without problem, then the conversion failure. I tried to convert the document integer and same result. Specifically, I bought the feature export to Word. Please help. I had initially export the Word Perfect PDF document and attempting to pass PDF to MS Word.
Hi sdr2014,
I'm sorry to hear that your conversion process is at a standstill. It seems that the problem is not specific to a single file, you have been unable to convert anything, since the first four chapters of a correct conversion.
So, let's try this:
If you want to convert via the ExportPDF site, please sign out, clear the browser cache, and then reconnect. If you use the drive, please choose Help > updates to ensure that you have installed the latest version.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara
