However, many of us who are not familiar with a program can decide whether we have use for it, or not, if the explanation is in a less technical language. Thank you again...Responders. And a big THANK YOU to our GOTD team for the terrific work they do!]]> Tue, 29 Jun 2010 01:17:35 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/clone-terminator-01/#comment-116798 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/clone-terminator-01/#comment-116797 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 01:16:03 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/clone-terminator-01/#comment-116797 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/clone-terminator-01/#comment-116796 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 20:43:02 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/clone-terminator-01/#comment-116796 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/clone-terminator-01/#comment-116795 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 18:39:49 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/clone-terminator-01/#comment-116795 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/clone-terminator-01/#comment-116793 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 15:24:05 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/clone-terminator-01/#comment-116793 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/clone-terminator-01/#comment-116792 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 15:20:43 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/clone-terminator-01/#comment-116792 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/clone-terminator-01/#comment-116791 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 14:59:10 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/clone-terminator-01/#comment-116791 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/clone-terminator-01/#comment-116790 [User Name] \ Application Data. It groups identical files, with groups on the left, contents [file names, paths, & size] on the right. You can select files & delete them either to the recycle bin or permanently. There were a couple of finds I was suspicious of, so I compared them with Microsoft's free WinDiff, & Clone Terminator was right. The primary danger using an app like Clone Terminator to get rid of duplicate files, is you can very easily break programs, & Clone Terminator itself provides a perfect example... Clone Terminator is programed to look for it's .ini file in that folder under Docs & Settings where it installs it. If You move that file into the program's folder, where it should be able to easily find & use it -- it doesn't. Likewise, when you delete a file from any program's folder, will it find the replacement? If that replacement file is in the Windows or Windows system folder, maybe. Otherwise, probably not. This becomes even more problematic when the file in question is registered with Windows, for example as a Direct Show filter -- delete it & every app that might use it [depending on what you have installed, maybe a dozen or more], can't. If you stay away from program files & stick with something like MP3s you've collected, you don't have that risk that you'll break something, & you should be fine. Of course with disk space cheap -- I recently saw a 1TB drive for $30 something [after MIR] -- many (most?) will feel it's not worth the time & effort.]]> Mon, 28 Jun 2010 14:33:09 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/clone-terminator-01/#comment-116790 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/clone-terminator-01/#comment-116789 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 14:22:33 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/clone-terminator-01/#comment-116789
