    +--fold1 +--fold1
    | | | |
    | +--file1 | +--file1
    | +--file2 +--file3
    +--file3

                    :cool: Try "Beyond Compare"! The best diff tool I've ever seen and the price is not too high. :) Download the free copy and give it a try www.scootersoftware.com

                      I see that you solved you problem but to be complete: you can try Microsoft's free 'SyncToy'. It's a program to keep directories in syn (like for backups or when you move your data between a (couple of) laptop(s) and a desktop computer. If you do a 'dry run' it will tell basically tell you what the differences are between two directories. I use it a lot when copying large amounts of files over unreliable network links.
