Description
--------------------------------
SendTo MD5 is a small application that allows you to calculate and compare MD5 
checksums of files and strings. With SendTo MD5 you can easily check the 
integrity of files, compare different MD5 hashes, calculate the MD5 checksum of 
a string, search files with a specific MD5 checksum or simply check if two or 
more files are identical.

SendTo MD5 supports file drag-and-drop operations and can also be integrated in 
the file Context menu or in Windows Send To menu for easy access from Windows 
Explorer.


Using SendTo MD5
--------------------------------
To start SendTo MD5 simply run the executable. By default SendTo MD5 starts in 
'minimized' mode, to compare MD5 checksums and access additional features 
expand the main window by clicking the small arrow button in the window.

You can calculate MD5 checksums of files by clicking the 'Open' button in main 
window or simply by dragging the files into the main window. Also if you have 
created a shortcut in Windows Send To menu or in File context menu, you can 
first select one or more files in Windows Explorer and start calculating the 
checksums by launching SendTo MD5 from Send To or file context menu.
