Compare and Merge 2 windows directories

Compare and Merge is a visual comparison utility. It lets you see and edit the differences between individual text files and entire folders. Compare and Merge shows the differences at a glance and makes it very easy to resolve them.

And it's only$20.

Another thought is to use the Windows Briefcase. I've never used it or looked into using it, but it's designed to keep files synchronized between computers.

Using the Windows Briefcase:

REMOVE SPACES from the pasted URLs.

If you want to really compare, theres always

DIR Dir1 /s/b | sort > File1.dir
DIR Dir2 /s/b | sort > File2.dir
FC File1.dir File2.dir

which sorts the two directories and produces a list. This is part of the basic Operating System.

Next to merge, there's this utility called "XCopy" which is part of the operating system and does the job. Its got a lot of options like copying empty sub directories, recursively into sub directories etc.

Best part is, both are free (come with the OS).
