Yeah, but not portable.

Yes that get-xmas ones are not portable at all ,I would avoid at all cost.

Myself, I prefer using Dupemerge (http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/ntutils.html. It leverages the use of NTFS hardlinks to free space while keeping both directory entries -- even with different names. If you install the Hardlink Shell Extension, you can see which files are hardlinked easily.

I've used this utility for about 5 years along with several other dup killers. It has a bit more of a learning curve than some of the others and users might miss, or not understand, certain options (like how to show all of the duplicate files together instead of having to confirm each file individually. Maybe the designer could make showing all of the files together the default. It lets you save a set of options that you can load for different situations. I haven't used it much but it's worth looking if you want customized de-duping. The app isn't the fastest but I'm not looking for fast as much as I'm looking for accuracy. So far, this app hasn't let me down. It's a useful addition to my toolkit.

I've been using CloneSpy for many years, some of my suggestions have made it into the program and I was beta-tester in the process of making the program work with Windows DEP.

It may not be the fastest program, but it works flawlessly and the developer reacts nearly instantly when you inform him of bugs (and most of them should by now be gone) or suggestions, the "Delete empty subdirectories" in batch that was added to 2.52 comes from me (and maybe others)

As for some of the comments above:

No it will not assume a.txt another a.txt, as it builds checksums for each file (and probably also compares sizes)

No, there is no need to confirm 10,000 times that you want to delete a file, unless you tell it to do so

And most of all, it's a neat little program at just over 1Mb, without any dependency on DLL's or the registry.
