Which OS?

check out the program Beyond Compare 2...its a little confusing at first but pretty simple to use after messing with it for a while. when I find the exe. i'll try and upload it but I think it's only a 30 day trial..we'll find out

Right click in the folder.
Sort by -> Size

And that'll catch most of them unless you have a bunch of the same wallpaper in different resolutions or something.
Instructions are for Windows but I'm sure any other OS can do something similar.

WIndows XP SP2 if that helps.

I'll check it out as well. THanks.

Yes, it helps when looking through one folder; but it doesn't work when going through multiple folders. Thanks for the advice though.

ACDSee Pro is excellent for that. I'm not sure if the basic version has the feature, but the pro version has a tool for finding exact duplicates. In addition, it is a completely badass image management suite.

Source?

(Personally I use a bit of homebrew software that catches duplicates and near-duplicates as I download them, but it isn't nearly good enough to be published yet.)

NoClone is good

Yea, found the beyond compare .exe and it is a 30 day trial but it only counts days per day you use it instead of a straight 30 days which is cool.

download it here: http://www.scootersoftware.com/download.php

I use dupdetector and it works fairly well.

Meh, those are all freeware/shareware. Any free utilities that do the job?

Nope, dupkiller isn't free. The official website itself says is explicitly: "Freeware"

you must be trolling
freeware is free
shareware usually gives you limited usage or a few days of full usage unless you pay

As usual, the people who are trolling are those who are the first to say other people are trolling.

Thought that the previous post was an answer to the question and thus pointed out that it wasn't.

P.S. I don't see how politics comes into this. What software people use and or write and under which licensing terms is strictly a civil matter and has not that much to do with politics, no?

P.P.S. An actual useful link:

No sense in feeding the trolls if that's all this post does.

Try Duplicate Image Finder. It's free and works really well. Will scan the entire computer and can even find pictures that are the same even if different sizes, resolutions, backgrounds, slight alterations, etc...
