Rick,

I _think_ the secret here Rick, is to use the 'Find' textbox (it comes up on the duplicates screen) and search
for only one type of file at a time. I just did a duplicate search for *.exe files, and it took less than 5
minutes. Also, you might want to look at the options/duplicate files tab and eliminate some of the criteria.
As for the "several hundred(?)" pair of the same file, do you recall what the file was? Other than
desktop.ini, I can't think of a standard file that would have so many duplicates.
