Although I probably organize my hard drive more than anyone
else I know, I still end up with several copies of files in
different spots on my hard drive. I usually use PowerDesk
98 in 2-pane view to compare the contents of directories,
but it is a large program and includes all sorts of features
I don't need when comparing directories. I now can use a simpler,
yet just as powerful tool.
Directory Compare, by Glenn Alcott, is strictly for comparing
directories (hence the title). As you can see by the screen
shot, it conveniently shows the files in a 2-pane layout.
In this example here, the c:\OldRoot folder
was one I created so I could copy all of the junk from c:\
and keep my hard drive clean. Somehow some of those files
reappeared and you can see that the config.ago and config.sys
files are in both places. Directory Compare highlights the
attributes of the files (size, date, time, etc.) for easy
comparison.
