Photos everywhere

[chrishb4]

Had a major computer failure and had to recover it to 'as bought'. Now I find I have duplicate photos in different folders all over the place!! Is there a simple way of getting them all in 'my docs'/'my pics' without all the duplicates?

Can't you just go into Explorer and cut and paste them into one folder or onto a CD?

I've been doing that but it takes forever....I just wondered if there was some magic proramme that would find all the jpeg files and put them in one folder minus all the duplicates. It's the duplicates that are the pain!!
