The HashTab shell extension displays various checksums from within Windows™ Explorer® for people who prefer using a human input device. Available for free (as in no-cost) from http://beeblebrox.org/hashtab/
cmd.exe-savvy users may download the free (as in freedom) Win32 ports of GNU utilities from http://unxutils.sourceforge.net. Once copied to a convenient folder type md5sum --help for usage instructions.
