Space Hound 4
Sniff out wasted space with The Duplicate File Finder available. Space Hound 4 eliminates duplicate
and unused files that are cluttering up your hard drive and causing problems. Make your operations faster
because your system doesn't have to look through thousands of unnecessary files to find the ones you need.
Now, much more than a duplicate File finder... Space Hound 4 is an education about the files on your computer.
Uncludes File & Directory Management, Zip & Unzip, file Viewers, Hex viewer, icon Viewer, more.
The overall mission of the program is to "sniff out" wasted space on your hard disk that is duplicated, obsolete,
or simply forgotten.
Space Hound performs it's job by building specialized file lists which can be examined by the user.
Several primary displays guide you in identifying files which are duplicated, obsolete, and even help find files
which may have been forgotten. Space Hound 4 provides the tools to assist you in determining which files fall
into these categories.
In addition to helping you "sniff out" wasted and nonproductive disk space, the program provides excellent reporting
and exporting capabilities to aid you in managing your data.
Space Hound comes equipped with an array of built-in viewers that support many popular types of documents, graphics,
sound files, and archives. It also has a "junk" file removal feature that eliminates several types of files notorious
for wasting space. Another strength of the program is its ability to generate lists of files based on your specific
criteria -- including file masks, attributes, size, and date. You can even perform complex string searches, use a
snapshot utility to compare drive/folder contents, compare files, verify shortcuts, print reports, and retrieve
version information.

program and operating system components. This tool provides two functions. The first is a display of each file
that was found to be a dependency of another program. You can select a specific file and see what those programs are.
The second function is to create a database of these dependencies that is used with the Pending Deletes Display to
help prevent files from being deleted that should not be deleted.
