Here is the manual from Winmerge explaining on comparing two different folders -

The answer from Stanislav works well from the user interface.

From the command line (documentation), you need the flag /r to do the comparison recursively:

WinMergeU /r Folder1 Folder2

Then, as mentioned in Stanislav's post, you can go to the View Menu and Check the "Tree Mode" and uncheck "Show Identical Items" to get a clearer view of the differences.

When I compare folders with WinMerge, I go to File->Open, select folders and check the 'Include subfolders' check-box. Then in the View menu I switch on the Tree View and switch off Show Identical Items.
