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.
