Description
HashOnClick is a simple Windows Explorer extension that tells you the MD5, SHA-1, or CRC32 hash value of a file. These hash values can be used to check if two or more files are exactly the same. The program is integrated with Windows Explorer so you just need to right-click on the files. A comprehensive help file is included, although the program is extremely easy to use. There are many reasons why you may wish to find out the hash value of a file. Many web sites for example list the MD5 value of a file, so that when you download it you can check to see if the file on your computer is correct. Some FTP servers also let you retrieve the MD5 value of a file (via the XMD5 FTP extension). CRC32 values are used in Zip files, and some FTP servers also let you retrieve the CRC32 value of a file (via the XCRC FTP extension). Another example of using HashOnClick is when you've copied a file from one location to another, and wish to confirm the files are identical.
