    Merge Directories


    I have two large Directories (about 25 GB each, 6-7000 files) that contain
    similar information. One may have newer files than the other. I would like
    to merge them into one Directory and eliminate duplicate files.

    Is there some software that can do that ?

    Thanks,

    Richard S.

    :)

    When I double click to open a folder, I get an error message that 'the file does not have a program associated with it'

    Hi Kelgem, this is a common enough error . . .

    The association between folder/directory and Explorer.exe is broken

    Click the link below, on the blue list click 'Folder' and 'Directory' to download 2 reg files

    http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/file-associat...

    When they have downloaded, right click each of those files and choose 'Merge', then confirm the merge

    Restart your PC and this issue will be resolved . . .

    That's It!

    you could also try robocopy

    eg Code: robocopy "C:\Directory with new things" "C:\Directory with old things" /b /e /r:0 /w:0 /xo /copyall /mt[/quote]

    It was introduced in Vista - you run it from the command prompt....

    Can also just move/copy one over the other and say NO to overwrite question, delete leftovers from the first folder.

    The only problem with that is there are over 7,700 files.
