Comparing two drives, folders, files etc

[Dave Neve]

Hi

When I use this option, I find the results confusing. One Window has folders which are 'dark' and the other 'light'. Some are not chosen.

If a folder is different in one window, why isn't it shown as different in the other one?

Why are some folders which are different indicated in the first pane and others in the second?

And finally, why are some different folders not different when I open them and compare contents?

Thanks

Most of your answers can be found in the documentation.
Please read the available help materials first (especially Help | Features...), then post your remaining questions.

This is fairly basic viewing,what are you trying to "compare"
You have to view both windows to the same view option.
eg:List,not icons.
