This little "proggy" has been around for a long time. Where it excels is the process of adding an MD5 signature to a filename to help verify you still have a valid file. Such as after emailing it to someone else. Drag and Drop the file to dsmd5.exe "Yes" to copy to clipboard, then append something like [md5=].

pgp/gpg? Menubinding is easy. can be done f.i, with www.autohotkey.com that glue my complete portable software system together.
I like Whitsoft Dev's "MD5 Hash" :) Even works from Right click menu in Explorer ;)
What would be NEAT, is an app that could create multiple hashes, CRC32, etc.
At last someone had the nerf to create such a valuable app, couldn't live without it (not).
I think I have at least 4 usefull (portable) programs that offer this routine standard, why would I need this?
I prefer Hashcalc which can calculate using multiple algorithms.

For some reason the short-hand for Control-V after "md5=" did not show up.
