    Does anyone know a good file difference tool for Windows, that can:
    -) Take multiple pairs of files as command line parameters
    -) Allows to navigate between those pairs of files (back, forward)
    -) (optionally) support C++ syntax highlighting

        Thanks, but the difference tool of notpad++ isn't that good, from what I know. It doesn't e.g. allow to resync differences from selected lines in both files (forgot to mention that in desired features)

          Perhaps start "here":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_comparison_tools

            Thanks. The list is a bit overwhelming at first ;-)

            I would value personal recommendations, especially from people who know the hassle of code reviews with many files in many versions and a version control system that doesn't contain a good review solution.
