If it tries to move a rom zip file that doesn't exist it'll say "File not found" and skip past it. You probably won't even notice it.

All CLONE roms found in
PATH=C:\Program Files\Compaq\Compaq Management Agents\Dmi\Win32\Bin;C:\WINDOWS\s
ystem32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\AT
I Control Panel;"C:\Program Files\Symantec\Norton Ghost 2003\";C:\Program Files\
Common Files\Roxio Shared\DLLShared\;c:\mingw\bin;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTS
ystem\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\WatchGuard\lib
will be moved to C:\BADROMS\CLONES
Press any key to continue . . .


Still seemed to work though :)

Oh yeah, I meant to remove that path line. I'll fix it up now...

EDIT: Okay, now it's fixed so the path info isn't displayed.

Wow, this thing worked great! After all of the hours I spent hunting down clones and then trying to decide which ones needed to go, I still had tons out there. It was nice having a program decide for me what to move. It knocked out almost half of my list so it is much more manageable now. Way to go!
One issue is I noticed that it moved Pac-Man. That's a no-no.  ;)
electricd:
Not anymore on mine :)

Fixed. Pacman is now safe.
Funny how nobody ever goes "Wow, you have an arcade machine in your house, does it have Puckman?"
