Developer’s Description

By 2BrightSparks

Determine the MD5, CRC32, and SHA-1 hash value of a file.

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.

Quick and simple

Pros
Just the job for getting MD5's for the setup files I upload to our website. It works on several highlighted files, and then simply create an MD5.txt file with all the codes in it.
Cons
Nothing. It's fine as it is.
Summary
Very helpful and easy to use

Pros
Easy to use as it's intergrated in explorer. Gives a check that downloads have worked.
Cons
If you have a need to get the hash of many files and store those values somewhere then HashOnClick would be a little time consuming.
Summary
Easy to use and accurate.

Pros
It integrates with explorer, so it's easy to use.
Cons
Once you calculate the hash, you can't use the explorer window from which you launched it (even the desktop, if you launched it from there) until you close the display window. Oh and it would be nice if you could change the font. :)
Summary
Absolutely perfect for checking downloaded files.

Pros
The ease of use can't be beat. Use this to provide hash values for files you upload to your website or network. Check the hash value of files you download and compare it with the provided hash to make sure the file copied correctly.
Cons
I'd like the program to create a text file with hash values for every file in a chosen folder. For doing multiple files, you must do one at a time and then copy and paste the values into a text file manually.

Easy to use and VERY HELPFUL

Pros
How to use it, this thing is easy as pie. All you do is right click a file and click which hash you want, you can even copy the hash to the clipboard right from the window it displays the hash in! This is my favorite feature, because what I do is when I organize files to my server folders, I paste the original and the server file's hash into Notepad. In this way, I am assured I am distributing the author's original work, and that is a nice feeling.
Cons
I would love if it went one step further and created an entry in the Columns area, that way I could see the SHA-1 hash of files without right clicking them. This may be a resource issue, but I don't think it would be much of one, because the column could always be turned off when not used.
