Open in WinMerge the textual "File1.txt" and the different textual "File2.txt".
Their textual contents do not matter if the two files are different.
Open in Notepad++ the same "File1.txt" and "File2.txt". Notepad++ and WinMerge should be side by sidewithout any overlapping.
The text editor does not matter. You can use Notepad supplied by default in Windows if you do not wish to install Notepad++.
In Notepad++, modify the text of File2.
Fully select by Ctrl+A and copy by Ctrl+C the entire text of "File2.txt" in the Windows clipboard.
Select the entire text of "File1.txt" and paste by Ctrl+V the content of File2 in File1. So the two files becomeidentical.
Savebothmodified File1.txt and File2.txt then closeNotepad++.
WinMerge asks: "Another application has updated file File1.txt since WinMerge scanned it last time."
If WinMerge does not show the dialog box, set the focus to WinMerge. There was maybe an overlapping with WinMerge and the text editor.
"Do you want to reload the file?" Yes
WinMerge displays a first time since File1 has been modified: "The selected files are identical." Ok
WinMerge displays a 2nd time since File2 has been modified: "The selected files are identical." Ok

The user does not wish to check the checkbox [ ] "Don't display this message again."
Because checking this option leads to zero confirmation in the next sessions.
The user would confirm one and only one time that the two files are identical.
