Duplicate filenames

Post by r2997790 »

Hi there,

I have a question about duplicate file(names) ... I have aliases set up for some folders (eg: C:\Users\Errol\Desktop\clients\Personal\ MAPS to: S:\Personal)

see: https://i.imgur.com/uXVHFp2.jpg

Is there a way just to get one version of these files to appear? Having two copies of everything appear is super annoying.

Many thanks
R

Currently there is no view option to hide duplicated results.

Please try excluding C:\Users\Errol\Desktop\clients:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Exclude tab on the left.
  • Click Add Folder....
  • Select C:\Users\Errol\Desktop\clients and click OK.
  • Click OK.

Or ... the other way around: exclude the 'aliased' disks:

Under Menu:Tools >Options > Indexes > NTFS, select the aliased disk (S:, B:) and uncheck Include in database for that disk.
