SHA1 hashes of one or more files in your system. You can easily copy the

HashMyFiles can also be launched from the context menu of Windows
Explorer, and display the MD5/SHA1 hashes of the selected file or folder.

Windows are not supported.

Using HashMyFiles
=================

HashMyFiles doesn't require any installation process or additional DLL
files. In order to start using it, simply run the executable file
(HashMyFiles.exe).
After you run it, you can add files and folders that you want to view
their MD5/SHA1 hashes. You can do it by using the 'Add File' and 'Add
Folder' options under the File menu, or simply by draging the files and
folder from Explorer into the main window of HashMyFiles.
After adding the desired files, you can copy the MD5/SHA1 hashes to the
clipboard, or save the hashes list into text/html/xml file.



Explorer Context Menu
=====================

HashMyFiles can also be used directly from Windows Explorer. In order to
enable this feature, go to the Options menu, and choose the 'Enable
Explorer Context Menu' option. After you enable this feature, you can
right-click on any file or folder on Windows Explorer, and choose the
'HashMyFiles' item from the menu.
If you run the HashMyFiles option for a folder, it'll display the hashes
for all files in the selected folder.
If you run the HashMyFiles option for a single file, it'll display only
the hashes for that file.

Translating HashMyFiles to other languages
==========================================

In order to translate HashMyFiles to other language, follow the
instructions below:
1. Run HashMyFiles with /savelangfile parameter:
   HashMyFiles.exe /savelangfile
   A file named HashMyFiles_lng.ini will be created in the folder of
   HashMyFiles utility.
2. Open the created language file in Notepad or in any other text
   editor.
3. Translate all string entries to the desired language. Optionally,
   you can also add your name and/or a link to your Web site.
   (TranslatorName and TranslatorURL values) If you add this information,
   it'll be used in the 'About' window.
4. After you finish the translation, Run HashMyFiles, and all
   translated strings will be loaded from the language file.
   If you want to run HashMyFiles without the translation, simply rename
   the language file, or move it to another folder.
