[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1201743, member: 190607"] There are a bunch of utilities for the Mac that will search for duplicate files. Here is a free one: Mr.Clean (free) [url]http://arcobaleno2001.interfree.it/prodhtm/mrclean.htm[/url] [url]http://xoomer.virgilio.it/arcobaleno2001/downloads/MrClean.sit[/url] But be careful! I've heard from a number of folks who have gotten themselves into quite a bit of trouble with this type of utility. Don't delete anything that you aren't absolutely sure that you don't need or want it anymore. It is important to note that there is some *normal* duplication of names in the Mac OS. For instance, you have at least two, and maybe more, Applications and Utilities folders on your hard drive, one for the System, and one for each user account. The same goes for the Library folder, Preferences folder, etc. ___________________________________________ Randy B.
