Context Menu
Right-clicking within the Duplicate File Detective result report will cause a context-specific menu to appear. Different context menus will appear depending upon whether you click a duplicate file group, or one of the duplicate files within a group.
Context menu functions include:

- Open file - Opens the currently selected file with the default Windows associated application.
