Start > Search and list all files; sort the files by name and look for
duplicates

By the way, how do you know which duplicates to discard and which to keep?

Windows XP has double and sometimes triple copies of files. It is there for
the "self healing" feature of the operating system. When a program
overwrites a system file it is automatically replaced with a known good copy
from the "bank".

Remove them and you will be causing potential problems down the road!
