Yep, BartPE plug-in would be sweet. Microsoft has a free file MD5 hash
tool (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;841290)
that can be used to build MD5 hashes for the whole directory. Just need
to write a BAT that takes a input Hash listing ( on-line ditry version)
and compares it to the new hash listing (off-line clean version). Just a
idea.

Maybe this is what Microsoft is creating, just hiding all these steps in
a new free tool - which is made of current free tools. Don't know.
