HashOnClick 2.9.0.0

A simple to use Windows Explorer extension that rapidly calculates the MD5, SHA-1, or CRC32 hash values of files. These hash values can be used to check if two or more files are identical. 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. HashOnClick provides you with SHA-1 Hash values so that you can make absolutely certain the file is an exact match in both locations.

Aside from the popular hashing methods of CRC32, MD5, and SHA-1, a registered installation of HashOnClick can also calculate MD4, RipeMD-128, RipeMD-160, SHA-256, SHA-512, and Tiger hash values.
