Is the way to compare the contents of two folders to identify duplicate
files. Thanks

Versioning of some dll's is not apparent, so be very sure you have a backup
of your system files before proceeding.

Iolo's System Mechanic has a duplicate file finder in it. Be VERY careful
when deleting duplicates, many of them are necessary for Windows and
programs to work.
