Newbie question re ediff |

Hi all,
This comes from a emacs novice. I've searched the old posts and found
several querries related to mine, but all the answers are over my head...
thus, please answer like you're talking to a "emacs challenged" person when
replying :).
I use emacs version 21-3 for programming in R (ESS). I'm running on Windows
XP. I would really like to use the "ediff" or "diff" functions but cannot
figure out how to do this. If I simply go to Tools -> Compare I get this:
"No such file or directory, diff"
After reading previous querries & responses on this forum, I installed
diffutils-2.8.7-1.exe and placed those utilities in the folder: C:\Program
Files\GnuWin32.
Now someone on a previous response said you need to change your _emacs file
"appropriately," but I have no idea how to do that. Do I need to change the
_emacs file so that emacs knows where to find the diff program? If so, how
do I do that? If not, what do I need to do to use diff within emacs?
Appologies for the level of this question, and thanks in advance,
Matt
