Some of CSSDIR powerFULL product Features include:

Limit files by size and/or EA size range, user specified 
search strings(s), and EVEN by DATE, [includes many shortcuts i.e.
for todays files use: cssdir -Srd:. Last n days: cssdir -Srd:-n]

Find duplicate files over multiple drives or network shares and EVEN
under DIFFERENT file names, sorted by ascending/descending sizes. 

Find unique files amongst two or more paths, Great for file tree compares!

important file information (Great for baseline comparisons).

what files have changed including file attributes and EVEN EAs. 

Produce detailed multiple sorted listings over multiple drives including 
network drives and UNC in one invocation and pass (saving you time).

Ability to selectively Exclude files (single files, groups of files or  whole

All options (that make sense) can be combined to limit or increase
the files to be included or excluded in the searches. POWERFUL!
