General Options
| • | Re-open last project when program starts - Indicates whether the last project will be loaded automatically upon startup. Enabled by default. |
| • | Follow file system re-parse points - Causes file system scanning to follow file system reparse points (e.g. symbolic links, mount points and junctions). Disabled by default. |
| • | Enable typing auto-complete within application drop-down boxes - Enabling this switch allows the system to automatically complete text being entered into various drop-down combo boxes used throughout the system. Enabled by default. |
| • | When filtering duplicate search results, show siblings of matching items - When enabled, filtering items within the duplicate search result view will also cause all members of the same duplicate file group to be shown. |

Prompts & Notifications
| • | Never ask if changes to the current project should be saved - Whenever a project is closed (e.g. when shutting down Duplicate File Detective or starting a new project), you'll be prompted to save any unsaved changes. Use this setting to avoid such prompts. Disabled by default. |
| • | Show warning when result report filtering is applied through indirect means - Some right-click menu functions may apply filtering to the current duplicate search result view. When this option is enabled, users will be notified when such filtering has been applied. |
| • | Show desktop notification window when duplicate scan completes - Causes a small notification window to appear in the corner of the Windows desktop when a duplicate scan completes. Notifications are never shown if the current duplicate file scan is canceled by the user. |
| o | Only if one or more errors occur during scanning - Causes the notification window mentioned above to appear only if errors occurred during the duplicate file scanning process. |
