Answer 1

BeyondCompare is what you're looking for. It will give you all those reports in a matter of clicks.

UPDATE

As a follow up to your comment, you can also use this approach, which is as free as in beer, and does everything via command line.

Install a tool called diff tools, and you'll be able to do something like:

diff.exe On the command line.

Answer 2

I have to recommend Beyond Compare for this, it's an excellent folder and file comparison tool. You can integrate it into Visual Studio as well for the file comaprison for a much better merging experience as well.

Answer 3

Araxis Merge is very good for this. I comes in a 64 bit version as well.

Answer 4

you can use Windiff.
