The ViceVersa Folder Snapshot Extension adds some useful snapshot commands to the Windows Explorer folder context menu. Download the installer above to install the extension. To remove the extension simply uninstall.

After installation of the extension, right-clicking on a folder in Windows Explorer will show the following two extra commands in the menu:

• Create Snapshot: This command creates a snapshot file "snapshot.vsn" in the selected folder. The snapshot will contain information about all files and subfolders in the selected folder, including their timestamps.
• Compare vs Snapshot: This command compares the content of the selected folder (and subfolders) vs. an existing snapshot file "snapshot.vsn" in that folder. ViceVersa PRO will start and show the differences between snapshot and current folder contents.
