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/Windows 7/Windows
8/Windows 10. Older versions of Windows are not supported.



Versions History
================


* Version 2.17:
  o Fixed bug: the extension column displayed a wrong value when the
    folder name had a dot character.
  o Increased the size of bottom status bar to display long paths.

* Version 2.16:
  o Explorer context menu inside HashMyFiles: When you right-click on
    a single item while holding down the shift key, HashMyFiles now
    displays the context menu of Windows Explorer, instead of the
    HashMyFiles context menu.

* Version 2.15:
  o Added /SaveDirect command-line option for using with the other
    save command-line options (/scomma, /stab, /sxml, and so on...),
    which allows you to export the hashes directly to a file, instead of
    accumulating all hashes in memory and then save them to file in the
    end.

* Version 2.11:
  o Added 'Run As Administrator' option (Ctrl+F11).

* Version 2.10:
  o Added accelerator key to 'Open In VirusTotal Web Site' option.
    (Ctrl+R)
  o Fixed the 'Open In VirusTotal Web Site' option to work properly
    with MD5 hash when there is no SHA256 hash.
  o Fixed bug: HashMyFiles failed to remember the last size/position
    of the main window if it was not located in the primary monitor.

* Version 2.05:
  o Added option to add 'Open In VirusTotal Web Site' to the context
    menu of Windows explorer. When right-clicking on a file in Windows
    Explorer and choosing 'Open In VirusTotal Web Site', HashMyFiles
    calculates the hash of this file and then opens it in VirusTotal Web
    site.
  o Added /virustotal command-line option, which calculates the hash
    of the specified file and then opens it in VirusTotal Web site.

* Version 2.03:
  o Fixed HashMyFiles to handle daylight saving time properly, like
    Explorer on Windows 7.

* Version 2.02:
  o Added 'Copy SHA256' option (F11)

* Version 2.01:
  o If SHA256 hash is not active, 'Open In VirusTotal Web site'
    option now works with MD5 hashes.

* Version 2.00:
  o Added 'Open In VirusTotal Web site' option. (Works only when
    SHA256 hash is active)
    If you have a software file that other people already submitted to
    VirusTotal, this option will open a Web page in VirusTotal Web site
    with the Antivirus scanning result.

* Version 1.97:
  o You can now use environment strings in the 'Add Folder' and 'Add
    By Wildcard' options (For example: %AppData%\*.* )

* Version 1.95:
  o When selecting one or more files located on a remote network and
    choosing 'Move To Recycle Bin', HashMyFiles now asks you whether you

    to Recycle Bin.
  o When HashMyFiles asks you whether to delete files or move them to
    Recycle Bin, the default answer is now set to 'No'.
  o Accelerator keys change: Del key is now used for 'Remove Selected
    Files' option.
  o Added 'Mark Odd/Even Rows' option, under the View menu. When it's
    turned on, the odd and even rows are displayed in different color, to

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.

Notice: Static menu items of Explorer do not support multiple file
selection. If you want to get the hash of multiple files from Explorer
window, use Copy & Explorer Paste, or drag the files into the HashMyFiles
window.




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.

/folder <Folder>
Specifies a folder and all its subfolders.

/wildcard <Full Path Wildcard> <Subfolder Depth>
Specifies wildcard with full path (e.g: c:\folder\*.exe) and the depth of
subfolders to scan. For <Subfolder Depth> parameter: 0 = no subfolders, 1
= one level of subfolders, 2 = two level of subfolders, and so on... 1000
= Infinite number of subfolders.

/virustotal <Filename>
Calculates the hash of the specified file and then opens it in VirusTotal
Web site.

/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.

/sort <column>
This command-line option can be used with other save options for sorting
by the desired column. If you don't specify this option, the list is
sorted according to the last sort that you made from the user interface.
The <column> parameter can specify the column index (0 for the first
column, 1 for the second column, and so on) or the name of the column,
like "Filename" and "Identical". You can specify the '~' prefix character
(e.g: "~Identical") if you want to sort in descending order. You can put
multiple /sort in the command-line if you want to sort by multiple
columns.



/nosort
When you specify this command-line option, the list will be saved without
any sorting.

/SaveDirect
Save the hashes list in SaveDirect mode. For using with the other save
command-line options ( /scomma, /stab, /sxml, and so on...) When you use
the SaveDirect mode, the hash lines are saved directly to the disk,
without loading them into the memory first. This means that you can save
a list with large amount of hashes into your disk without any memory
problem, as long as you have enough disk space to store the saved file.
The drawback of this mode: You cannot sort the lines according to the
column you choose with /sort command-line option.

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"
HashMyFiles.exe /folder "c:\temp" /shtml "c:\temp\1.html"
HashMyFiles.exe /folder "c:\temp" /shtml "c:\temp\1.html" /sort
"Identical" /sort "Filename"
HashMyFiles.exe /folder "c:\temp" /shtml "c:\temp\1.html" /sort ~1
HashMyFiles.exe /wildcard "c:\temp\*.zip" 1 /shtml "c:\temp\1.html"
HashMyFiles.exe /SaveDirect /folder "c:\temp" /scomma "c:\temp\1.csv"



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.
