Update   for Notepad   7 5 and above use Compare v2 0 0 for Notepad   7 7 and above use Compare v2 0 0 for Notepad   7 7  if you need to install manually follow the description below  otherwise use  quot Plugin Admin quot    I use Compare plugin 2 for notepad   7 5 and newer versions  Notepad   7 5 and newer versions does not have plugin manager  You have to download and install plugins manually  And YES it matters if you use 64bit or 32bit  86x   So Keep in mind  if you use 64 bit version of Notepad    you should also use 64 bit version of plugin  and the same valid for 32bit  I wrote a guideline how to install it   Start your Notepad   as administrator mode  Press F1 to find out if your Notepad   is 64bit or 32bit  86x   hence you need to download the correct plugin version  Download Compare-plugin 2  Unzip Compare-plugin in temporary folder  Import plugin from the temporary folder  The plugin should appear under Plugins menu    Note   It is also possible to drag and drop the plugin  dll file directly in plugin folder  64bit   programfiles  Notepad   plugins 32bit   programfiles x86   Notepad   plugins    Update Thanks to  TylerH with this update  Notepad   Now has  quot Plugin Admin quot  as a replacement for the old Plugin Manager  But this method  answer  is still valid for adding plugins manually for almost any Notepad   plugins   Disclaimer  the link of this guideline refer to my personal web site
