    Ok I have a 300GB hard drive full of a load of stuff. Now I have a lot of files and folders and I know that a lot of the stuff is the same. The problem is that it would take weeks to trawl through all this to find the same files, programs etc. Is there any program out there that will do all this automatically for me?
