After combining a couple of my Itunes libraries, I ended up with thousands of duplicate music files in each folder. So I look up a solution and find a script written just to solve my problem. Works great, except it gives me the "OK" dialog box every single time it does something, so I have to hit OK every time. I'm sure I've seen an option somewhere to allow VB scripts to run in Windows Explorer, but I can't find it. I'm running XP home. Thanks.

If you only need to do this once, I'd suggest Macro Express. You can have it click the box for you. Really easy to setup and run as well. Check out the "Getting Started" page.

I assume you are just clicking on it to run it? You can probably solve that problem by running it from a command prompt, instead.

Open a prompt, cd\ to the directory that your script is in, and then use 'cscript' to run it:

cscript filename.vbs

Cool, thanks. I'm trying that macro program right now.

does any one know any free down loading agents for music?

Re: nerd help needed
 

Are you talking about torrents or items like limewire etc? Because how does this question have any relevence to the OT?

Re: nerd help needed
 

do you need multiple folders? do all the folders have the same songs in them?

Re: nerd help needed
 

Currently I have a folder for each artist which totals in the hundreds, and each folder contains a sub-folder for each album. My duplicates are the songs within each of those sub-folders so I have to have a script that checks each individual folder for dups and deletes them.

I haven't been able to get that macro program to work yet, I can't find something in it that goes into individual folders looking for duplicates. Crap.

I thought Pete was saying you should use the macro program to just click the 'ok' box as it appears?

Re: nerd help needed
 

^^ Bingo. Use the script to go through and delete the files. You can have the macro running at the same time. Have it running and waiting for the "Confirm Delete File" dialog box, and when it pops up, it will click the box for you.

I'll write the script for you, but you will have to modify it a little bit. Give me a few mins.

Re: nerd help needed
 

Can't you just change the code of the original script, if it's just a .vbs file. Just comment out the code that is making the popup boxes appear.

Re: nerd help needed
 

I'm not sure if you can do that when it is a file deletion popup box. *shrug*
