The 'Metadata Assistant' you are referring to costs 79 US$ per workstation
license, just follow this link

http://www.payneconsulting.com/public/products/ProductDetail.asp?nProductID=
29

They also offer a public 'demo' version that does not expire but has certain
limitations:

1. Cleaning of Metadata (This version only Analyzes)
2. Multi directory scanning of documents (This version only Analyzes one
document at a time)
3. This version does not include the add-in to integrate with Microsoft
Outlook 2000 or 2002

I think it is a great free tool and can be downloaded at
http://www.payneconsulting.com/public/products/ProductDetail.asp?nProductID=
21

Hope this helps :-)
