A filename extension is a suffix (separated from the base filename by a dot) to the name of a computer file applied to indicate the encoding (file format) of its contents or usage. A software that is able to open a file recognizes that file with its extension. Often I write FORTRAN programs for my […]
Previously I wrote about some free tools that can check file hash in Windows. Today I will write about Hash Code Verifier, that does the same in batch and in all operating system. According to the developer Hash Code Verifier is a Cross-platform application to verify the Integrity of your download files. Hash Code verifier […]
Do you remember the post where I discussed about unhiding non-system files!! Hiding a file like a system file can be done by altering the file attribute. XChange Attribute is a tiny freeware to quickly change file attributes among Normal, Hidden and Hidden + System. So, this software can also be used to ‘unhide non-system […]
Searching for desired Files and Folders is a cumbersome job when you have a large number of files in your computer. Windows provides a search feature which is useful but takes up high resources and time. Wise JetSearch from ZhiQing Soft is a new software that makes files and directory search easier and fast and […]
Oh! have you just deleted an important file by pressing Shift + Del ? Well, don’t get so upset because your file may not have gone forever yet!! Remember, I wrote about some software that are made to securely delete files!! So, Shift + Del is not the ultimate fate of a file. There are […]
File Hash carries the signature of each file and so to properly identify a particular file it is very useful to know its hash. Now there are a number algorithms to calculate file hash and of course no one is perfect. Previously I wrote about NoVirusThanks MD5 Checksum Tool and Compute Hash which does the […]
Often, I happen to make multiple copes of the same software, music files and PDF files in my hard drive and its a painstaking job to hunt those individually. Duplicate file searching software comes handy in such cases and FileMany from CodePanic software is a similar software. This software is very new in this field […]
Normally we use different software for backing up important files and folders, encrypting personal files, locking personal USB drive and shredding sensitive files and folders. But with the first release of File Secure Free from Vitarsoft, you will not need separate application for performing the aforementioned tasks since it has all tools inbuilt and still […]
Synchronizing files between two folders is one of the essential-most need of a basic user and as a solution often an user just copies the contents of a folder to another and overwrites any existing ones in the later. This process while is very easy to apply using default windows knowledge may cause problems. Suppose […]
Windows Software normally comes in two flavors: Installer and Portable. While Installer versions are good for better integration in system as well as better accessibility via Start Menu, Desktop etc., Portable versions are also good because it do not affect system registry or installs hooks and handles and therefore will not influence system performance in […]
Few days ago I wrote about NoVirusThanks MD5 Checksum Tool. Today I will write about a tiny tool that can compute the file hashes using the same algorithms i.e. MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384 and SHA512. The tool is Compute Hash developed by an Indian software developer Subin Ninan.
We are living in a digital world. Everyday we create, edit, receive and distribute number of files of various format. In computational terminology a modified file have different cryptographic hash function than its original ancestor, whatever minor the modification may be. Cryptographic hash function therefore is used largely to determine the originality of a file. […]
