<div class="markdown_content"><p>My DVD drive is currently broken, so I cannot reproduce this issue at the moment. However, similar reports have been made in the past and we still do not know a definite solution. It seems likely that this behavior is caused by Windows rather than WinMerge itself.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>I am trying to compare a DVD drive content "S:" with files on the hard drive. When I browse to say "S:\Files\" it instead changes to<br/> "C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Burn\Burn\Files1\" and cannot find the files. I can then overtype to make it "S:\Files1\" but when I select the next folder it does this again and every time!!! Using current version 2.16.54.2 and also previosus version 2.16.52.2</p> <p>Is there a fix for this?</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hello I am trying to setup winmerge to not have identical files in the CSV report, so as to avoid copying files that are not needed, is this possible via command line?</p> <p>Here is my current command</p> <p>WinMergeU /r /m Binary -noninteractive /s "$LeftFolder" "$RightFolder" -noprefs /cfg ReportType=0 /cfg DirViewExpandSubdirs=1 -or $OutputFile /xq</p> <p>Thanks,<br/> Jim</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>ok one last question, is there a way to manipulate the report so it will not have the 2 line header on it? I would like it to have row 3 as row 1 so I can read from the csv in my script</p></div>
