I am currently using Altap Salamander, but the shell extension for BC5 doesn't function in its context menu, making it impossible to use. Is there a way to resolve this issue?

That depends on what version of Salamander you are using. x86 or x64 and the shell extension must match that version.

I do not know, what the BC5 shell extension offers, but to compare two files, I find it easyer, and more in line with usage patterns in AS, to configure a User Menu entry. With WinDiff I use

Command: windiff
Arguments: "$(FileOrDirToCompareLeft)" "$(FileOrDirToCompareRight)"
Execute through shell: No

Handling is identical to Salamander's File Comparator pluging, except the shortcut is not Shift+Ctrl+C but F9,w (w depending on the name of your user menu entry).

Thanks for explanation
