I have two identical systems (hardware wise) running Windows XP that
were built as master image machines for a cloning process using Ghost.


I would like to be able to compare the two machines to determine any
differences - i.e. system files that are different, different versions,
missing files, etc. Can anyone suggest a utility or process to
accomplish this short of manually going through each machine doing a
side by side comparision?

As a bonus, it would be great to have a tool/process to compare
settings/registry. Does anyone know of something that can do this?
