the UI)

duplicate information...)

- show those files (files in the Windows directory and system and hidden files)
- exclude those files from being selected or even remove them from the list
- search
- all fields at once
- using wildcards (* and ?) or a regular expression

What is WeeDuplicateDetective?
WeeDuplicateDetective is easy to use, nice to look at, and does its job perfectly. It gives you a lot of control over
- what is to be considered as a duplicates,
- how the list of found duplicates is shown,
- how you can select which duplicates are to be cleaned
- how you can clean the selected duplicates
Have a look at the help file (also
available in the installer) for full information.
Plus, WDD is 100% free and will remain so!
Who makes WeeDuplicateDetective?
Well, I do. My name is Guillaume Ranslant. I'm French and I live in Germany. Check my blog or my LinkedIn or Xing profiles for more information.
I develop WDD in my free time, therefore no company is involved in any way. Therefore also, ... things take some time to be done, as my kids take a lot of my free time (and I like it so).
I use Visual C# Express for the code, NSIS for the installer, Paint.NET and IcoFX for the main icon and found some icons on www.findicons.com.
