What is HashCheck Shell Extension?
The HashCheck Shell Extension makes it easy for anyone to calculate and verify checksums and hashes from Windows Explorer. In addition to integrating file checksumming functionality into Windows, HashCheck can also create and verify SFV files (and other forms of checksum files, such as .md5 files). It is fast and efficient, with a very light disk and memory footprint, and it is open-source.
The original project was developed by Kai Liu. A fork has been created and maintained by Christopher Gurnee and later by Mounir Idrassi

Biggest upside of this tool is the fact it's integrated with shell, since such a basic functionality should be instantly accessible with seamless feel, and HashCheck does the job perfectly. Also being open source is a huge plus.
I was using an outdated HashCheck v2.4.0 fork by gurnec in Github. Now I discovered the updated HashCheck v2.5.0 fork by idrassi thanks to alternativeto.net. Very good Shell Extension. I also use OpenHashTab because it has more algorithms, VirusTotal check for virus and when you open an checksum file you can resize the window to make an screenshot for example.
No thanks, it's annoying. You have to save a file, involving multiple steps. HashMyFiles just gives you a popup and adds new files to it. The only problem is its not always reliable. I want a simple shellex that just QUICKLY and SIMPLY shows me if two files are the same.
Moments like this is why I feel I love AlternativeTo, ever since I found it. Up to now I have been using Hashtab along with QuickSFV, for checking hashes of individual files along with creating SFV files to check file corruption of some of my files I have in a collection.
Now that I finally stopped living under a rock, again thanks to AlternativeTo, I found a program that not only does both of these things for me, but also offers the features of checking each and every file in a folder and it's subfolders.
Love this, love this, love this! 5 stars =D
Extra kudos for being able to read sfv files QuickSFV has created, which I am guessing that might be normal, as in sfv files are universal probably, but still it makes me happy =D
Still works and tested with Windows 10 Pro
It is better than HashTab. It's a open source.
Site newb here, 1st post. Sorry for a bit of title shouting but previous reviews are now not as current. See the GitHub (more towards pg bottom for windows) for this handy utility, now updated to v2.4 as of Sept 7, 2016. Still small footprint, still seamless integration into Windows shell adds "Checksums" tab to file Properties page. Copy/Pasta hash from site into Find box, press find and successful hash match will highlight. Multiple file speed is improved. YMMV, I'm on Win7SP1 patched, so I can't comment Win8/10. I grabbed IfranView64 off their website, bounced to Downloads.net and verified my files quite easily.
