As rdf said, Windows Find (Win key + F). Use the "Name & Location"
tab but enter no search string. "Look in" should be the drive you
want to search. Be sure to check the box for "Include subfolders".
Then switch to the "Advanced" tab and select "Folders" from the drop
down list.
When you get the results, click on the "Name" column to sort and dupes
will be grouped together.
NOTE: Just because two folders have the same name does *not* mean
that one should be deleted since they will have different paths and
are not, therefore, duplicates. Windows will not allow duplicate
names with the same path.

Later...
I've just been playing with the above and there are two potential
problems.
1. You may get a message that the number found exceeds the program's
capacity. The solution is to search a smaller area.
2. It appears *NOT* to include C:\Program Files in the search. I
don't know if that is an anomaly just on my system or not. Solution
is to search that path separately.
