Get a Hash Value for a Directory with the Free Utility DirHash

You can get a free utility that will generate a hash value for a directory in Windows from the French company IDRIX. See the download page here: https://www.idrix.fr/Root/content/category/7/31/46/ . The way you use it is pretty simple. The zip file that gets downloaded contains just one file - dirhash.exe . Extract that to a folder, and then in that folder press CTRL + SHIFT, right click and choose 'Open command window here'. Then enter the command dirhash, followed by the directory you are generating a hash value for, and then end with hash function you want to use. (DirHash gives you an option between MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, and SHA512 .)

With the basic format to start with you can elaborate the script to account for multiple terms and then run it from a batch file. Just copy the script into a new .txt file, change the extension to .bat and double-click it. So a script to replace multiple strings would look like this:
