From: "Glenn Meadows" 

I've already got that, got it for some registry work, didn't realize of
forgot that it had a dup file finder in it. I'll give it a try and see what
it finds.  This is something I'll probably start and let run all night.
I've already turned on the NT file compression for those directories to
save space.
