Q. photo duplication craziness

You would open a DOS Window by going to start>run and entering "cmd" without the quotes.
Then you would need to change directories into your picture folder. Depending on where the cmd window opened, usually C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserID, you may only have to type "cd my pictures" without the quotes and press enter. Once in the correct folder, try to delete one from the command line by typing "del NameOfPicture.jpg" (or .bmp if they're bitmaps) again without the quotes, and press enter.
If that works without duplicating the picture, you could delete all of them that start with "Copy of....." by typing "del copy of*.jpg" or just "del copy*" Keep in mind, this will delete EVERYTHING in that folder that starts with "copy".
If all that command line stuff doesn't sound like fun, you could also try creating a new picture folder and see if it happens in that folder. If the new folder works, you could just copy over the pictures you want to save and forget the old folder.
