I have been working around with removing a lot of the useless junk that builds up on PC. Trying a couple different programs to see how they work.
One brings up the Dup. files, but I notice that on some, its the same file except for a different attribute, one has no read only and the has read only, or one has Archive and not the other.
I am wonder if its alright to remove any of these and why it would be that way?
some are .dll's and some are of types I am not familar with.
This is on XP pro.
Its amazing how many their are!
thanks fopr any info on this

I'd use the proggie that comes with Windows.

I never use it, tho. I prefer to leave those system files alone. You never know when you delete one that is being used by some forgotten program.
