ClutterCutter is a lightweight Windows disk-usage browser. On NTFS drives it
reads the Master File Table directly for very fast full-drive scans (roughly
one million files in six seconds), with a parallel FindFirstFileEx walker as
a fallback for non-NTFS drives and non-admin runs. Includes a treeview
drill-down, a Top-largest-files view, an Oldest-files (by date modified) view,
and a safe-to-delete temp/cache files view. Installs per-machine to Program Files with a Start
Menu entry; no .NET runtime required.
