386DX, you are welcome!

Be careful about "duplicate" DLLs and other similar system, program, utility, etc geek files. Many so-called duplicates exist and where they exist for good reasons. Many software calls to respective specific directories are made. Many DLLs with exact names have both similar and different content, often seen by their respective different byte-sizes. Even exact same DLLs in different directories are called upon by their "parents" and their "children" better be present or else.

Have restorable full image backups (yes plural) at the ready. One of the fastest ways to bring down Windows and/or 3rd party stuff is to get the Death Plaque of the Missing DLL, the one that cannot be fixed...except by re-install or by full image restore.

I would probably go further than Rolands advice above ... Never even think of using a duplicate finder in the system folders of a Windows, (or any other), operating System. You can, if you have the technical knowhow, remove or change system files to solve a specific issue. This is fine as long as you have the system backed up - for recovery when, not If it goes wrong, as over time it will, this is what they call "experience"
