I have two Picture folders and two Document folders. When I try to delete
files

in the duplicate folder it also removes the files in the main folder.

Question is.. how do I delete the duplicate folder without deleting what is
in my

main folder.

I have tried to just move the files over but it says that they are duplcates.

It is as though they are both parent folders. Anyone??

Hello Steve

In Method Two of this tutorial, check to make sure that your Picture
and Documents folders have the default location for them in th
registry. Afterwards, you should be able to delete the duplicate

Hope this helps

is to use Clone Remover's advantages

An Easy Fix.

1. Goto: Start Menu > Run > Type regedit

2. Goto:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders

3. Edit String: 'Personal' > Change to the Drive/Folder that you want
as 'My Documents' (contains all your user folders).

4. Close and Restart Your Computer.

After the restart you will no longer have duplicate user folders.
