SourceSafe 6.0 does not allow users to replace the diff utility they use – it appears to be a part of the SourceSafe executable ssexp.exe. SourceSafe 2005 permits replacing its diff tool: go to Tools | Options | Custom Editors, then select the File Difference operation for the .* File Extension and specify the path to ExamDiff Pro followed by %1 %2 in the Command Line field, then click Add and OK. One other useful tool is this convenient SourceSafe shell extension by David Y. Zhao. All you need to do is install and configure it, and then use ExamDiff Pro’s Explorer Menu on right click in comparison panes.
