For example, this folder contains the duplicates: "C:\Documents and settings\Рабочий Стол\Василий\Мои документы\" How to specify this?

mkdir "Мои документы" (copy & paste, quote because of space), copy some files there and finddupe <copy & paste or TAB to select the directory or "M + TAB> works for me under Win10. Please report your findings Wasilij.

Thanks! Like DFHL v2.5, finddupe is working on Windows XP, by this way:

  1. WinKey + R, Enter (Run Application)
  2. cmd.exe, Enter (command line console)
  3. C:, Enter (switch disk to the disk with duplicate folder)
  4. cd "C:\Documents and settings\Василий\Рабочий Стол\Мои документы" (change directory to the folder with duplicates)
  5. "C:\Documents and settings\Василий\finndupe\finndupe.exe" -hardlink "."

P.S.: Also, this just woking by one call with quotes: C:\>"C:\Documents and Settings\Василий\finndupe\finndupe.exe" -hardlink "C:\Documents and settings\Василий\Рабочий Стол\Мои документы"

After this actions, NTFS Link show red arrow near hardlinked files, and WinHEX show the same sector sequence for all hardlinked files.

Maybe need to add this info to the description.

Issue is closed. Best regards.

I just leaved .bat-file in opened pull request. This allow to run finddupe.exe with custom pathway.

Have a nice day.
