First, HashCheck can process and verify the hashes/checksums stored in checksum files–these are files with a .sfv, .md4, .md5, or .sha1 file extension. Just double-click on the checksum file, and HashCheck will check the actual checksums of the listed files against those specified in the checksum file.

Second, HashCheck will add a “File Hashes” tab to the Explorer file properties dialog so that you could easily check the hash of a file (or even multiple files and directories) from Explorer. You can also save the results to a checksum file.
