Bad ass utility

jv16.org

OK, my friend Mark referred me to a duplicate file tool offered by zdnet (I think) well they have since erased that from their history.

When looking for something completely different I found these DOWNLOAD THESE NOW! you get a registry cleaner, dupe finder, scripts and it is free.

Well, I found this article from a web search, and the following command did the trick.
