windows vista - How can I use a mask to find files with the same names in Explorer?

What I would like to do is to use Explorer to locate all the files with the same names in a given folder and all of its sub-folders.



Example...




C:\Photos\20070113\20070113065.jpg
C:\Photos\20070110\20070113065.jpg
C:\Photos\20070108\20070113065.jpg


As you can see from this example, my problem is that I have the same JPEG files with the same names in more than one sub-folder. For some reason they have been misplaced in the wrong folders (dates don't match with the folders). I have some 2800 JPEG files in this root. But only maybe 10% are duplicates.



Is there some kind of mask I can use in the search field in Explorer so that it only shows me files that have the same name?




Something like *.jpg [same file name]?
