File Comparator

Description

File Comparator is an easy-to-use Windows application designed to compare folders and identify any identical files. It comes bundled with an intuitive set of options that can be easily used by anyone, even those with little or no experience in software utilities. Setting up the program takes little time and minimal effort. As far as the GUI is concerned, the main window has a simple structure. Folders can be pointed out for scanning using the tree view only, since the drag-and-drop method is not supported. It is possible to either include or exclude their subdirectories from scanning. Results populate a list with any duplicate files, allowing users to remove selected ones from the disk in no time. It is possible to clear the folder list, disable confirmation for file deletions, as well as to switch to another UI language. There are no other notable features provided by this software program. File Comparator is very low-demanding when it comes to CPU and RAM, so it does not affect the overall performance of the PC, nor intervene with the user's normal activity (it can be minimized to the taskbar). It did not hang, crash or pop up error dialogs during our evaluation. On the other hand, the tool has not been updated for a pretty long time and it has some compatibility issues with later operating systems. Users are at risk of deleting critical Windows files, so it is recommended to look for more powerful apps for checking folders for duplicate files.
