    A couple of free Windows utilities, which do file comparisons as well:

ExamDiff

CSDiff
http://www.componentsoftware.com/products/CSDiff/

    These may not have all of the bells and whistles of some of the
commercial applications, but for straightforward folder or file comparisons,
they're pretty solid. Each also offers a "pro" version for a price.
