#= check_file_name = # Check if file is a constantly changing Windows or Norton file. This is the fcr counter counter in the stats summary. # 5) Upgrading TCL from 8.63b (Nov 2012) to 8.6.4.1 (Jan 2017) really reduced the number of errors # flagged, as the fc.exe retry mechanism shows many files are identical, even if diff.exe does # NOT agree. # 4) regedit.exe is a perennial failure, but manually compares OK with fc.exe.

# 3) Some files are locked, so cant be read, eg c:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\NTUSER.DAT # and FC gives misleading error about "no such file", even though it is visible. However, if you want to compare the whole folders contents, you should use third-party tool like Winmerge or Free Commander. This only compares files and folders number. # 2) Need to try on Win7 Repair disk some time. The easiest way is to compare them manually by doing right click on the folders separately > Properties > Compare 'Size, Size on Disk and Contains' on both folders.

Though comp is an option, but I feel it is primitive and FC is a better option. But this will be a problem for really large files. This should solve your problem if you wanna stick to using COMP. So your command would look like : C:\>comp "filepath1" "filepath2" /a /l /n=(the number of lines you want to compare) /c (see the options supported by comp by typing 'comp /?' on the command line. To overcome that you can use th '/n' option with which you can specify the number of lines you want to compare. The reason you getting the error with COMP is that the utility assumes the files that you are comparing are of the same size.
