Dupe Checker PRO

Strength:
There aren't any limitations in the trial version and the Help file is very concise; which is more convenient for a green hand.

Weakness:
The operation is harder compared with Advanced Duplicates Finder.

Benefits:
Before checking I was very confident about non-duplicate file in my PC. Yet the results amazed me and impressed me deeply by the renamed files. So many duplicate files, however, where did they come from? I got confused--you know, when we name a file or a program, the same name would not be adopted. How could they exist?
A friend told me a twin file would generate when we accidentally pressed "ctrl". It is a trifle operation that one may ignore, however, the new generated twin file would not disappear automatically. No wonder there are so many duplicates!

Dupe Checker Pro could help us with duplicate files. When the duplicate files checked, they will be listed and we can preview them--whatever they are images, text or HTML files. If you want to delete the duplicate files, you could observe their face and then decide to delete or not.

We could also utilize this program for filter files; therefore you could avoid the similar condition that I've run into. Your PC would unload some burden then and the startup of it might quicker than before.

Interface
The interface is a user-friendly one, for the buttons and tabs are easy to understand; yet I have seen an easier-to-operate tool which would do all after installation. So this program is a little comparatively hard for a newbie to practice.

The interface provides a wizard which could help a beginner to start with the steps, yet the operations are a little complicated; though the steps are operated automatically yet the waiting time takes a little longer compared with Advanced Duplicates Finder.

System Requirements
It is compatible with Windows 98 or better versions; the RAM requires 32MB and you should leave 10MB hard drive space. The software requires Internet Explorer 4.01 or higher. These requirements are so easy to meet that common users could ignore.

Conclusion
Duplicate files finders are very useful, for which could help us to check the useless twin files. Dupe Checker Pro is the tool that belongs to this category. The most highlight feature of this program, among so many competitors, is the files as well as MP3 filter feature. Some filter tools are particularly designed for MP3 duplicate files. This program could be marked as a powerful one. We can select the twin files and it allows us to make decisions on them--whether keep the double files or delete one of them; it is a very considerate design.
