WinUtilities Duplicate File Finder is a utility that identifies duplicate files in one or more paths. Unlike other utilities that only check file names, WinUtilities Duplicate File Finder performs a binary comparison of file contents and can locate files that are alike regardless of names.

WinUtilities Duplicate File Finder's scanning can be defined by path, file mask(s), and (optionally) with complex filters for size/date/attributes. Entire drive(s) can be scanned or specific path(s). Results can be copied to the windows clipboard or saved to a tab delimited file. Functions to delete files, launch Windows Explorer, and show file properties are available. The Windows Recycle Bin is used by default during deletions. You can also launch a file in the results list by double clicking. The results list is searchable and can be printed. The sort order of the results can be adjusted prior to generating the results.
