How can I do a binary comparison from Windows Explorer?

[Pete]

In BC2, I used to be able to use Windows Explorer to automatically do a binary comparison of the two EXE files that I chose via the context menu. That is what I want, but when I try to do this with BC3, it seems to only compare the version information of each executable rather than the contents.

So, two questions:

1) Is there any way to tell BC3 to behave like BC2 in this respect?

2) If not, how can I do such a binary comparison with BC3?

If you're referring to viewing the files in the hex compare instead of the version compare viewer, go to Tools->File Formats, and uncheck the checkbox next to the "Executables" file format.

That solved it, thanks.
