Windows 10, 1607, 64 bit
SpaceSniffer shows 70 RedisQFork_####.dat files in the Windows/System32/Config folder for a total of 17.7GB
WINDIRSTAT (run as Administrator) does not show these files and the total space used does not reflect the 17.7GB
Right clicking on the drive and displaying Properties shows the Space Used includes these files
Command Prompt run as Administrator commands do not find the files
Everything does not find the files

Replicated, kind of.
After analyzing the tokens of both WinDirStat and SpaceSniffer, i've uncovered that SpaceSniffer is running with the additional "SeBackupPrivelege"
SpaceSniffer finds the reg hives in that folder, whereas WindirStat (1.12.80 does not), even when both are run as Admin.
As for why you have 18GB in your system32\config folder thats another issue. I have none of those. The folder totals 330MB in any regard.
