Q: I have two copies of a folder that has about 8 GB of size total and a couple of thousands of (binary) files. Both folders (the original and a copy) are in the same machine (Windows XP Professional). Using the folder properties dialog, I can see that there is a difference of 10 files that are missing in the copy folder.

The problem is: I need to know what files are missing in the copy folder. Do you know if Windows XP or VisualStudio (VS 6 or VS.Net) have any utility that would do the trick?. If not, any third-party tool? This is a one time task, so I don't mind if it is not a fully automated process (I would like to see If I can do it without coding).

I already tried windiff, but it does not only compare folder structures, but also file contents, and it's taking a lot of time (I started it and it looked like it was going to take several hours).

I want to compare all the tree structure including files, don't care about file contents.

A: With Compare Suite you can you do this task with folder comparison feature . It is easy to open one folder on the left size and another on the right and compare two folders. Comparative report will provide you with precise information about differences that you can share with you co-workers or use yourself. Read more about reports.
