Copyright (c) 2007 - 2008 Nir Sofer

Description

HashMyFiles is small utility that allows you to calculate the MD5 and SHA1 hashes of one or more files in your system. You can easily copy the MD5/SHA1 hashes list into the clipboard, or save them into text/html/xml file.
HashMyFiles can also be launched from the context menu of Windows Explorer, and display the MD5/SHA1 hashes of the selected file or folder.

System Requirements

This utility works on Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista. Older versions of 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.

Command-Line Options

/file <Filename | Folder | Wildcard> Specifies the filename, folder, or wildcard that you want to hash.
/files <Filename> <Filename> <Filename> ... Specify multiple filenames, folders, or wildcards that you want to hash.
/stext <Filename> Save the hashes list into a regular text file.
/stab <Filename> Save the hashes list into a tab-delimited text file.
/stabular <Filename> Save the hashes list into a tabular text file.
/shtml <Filename> Save the hashes list into HTML file (Horizontal).
/sverhtml <Filename> Save the hashes list into HTML file (Vertical).
/sxml <Filename> Save the hashes list to XML file.
/scomma <Filename> Save the hashes list to comma-delimited file.

Examples:
HashMyFiles.exe /file "c:\temp\*.zip" /shtml "c:\temp\1.html"
HashMyFiles.exe /file "d:\temp\myfile.zip" /stab "d:\temp\myfile.txt"
HashMyFiles.exe /file "d:\my files"
HashMyFiles.exe /files "c:\temp\*.zip" "c:\temp\1234.exe" "c:\temp\Hello.exe" /shtml "c:\temp\1.html"

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.
