CHK

If you handle a lot of files on your computer on a daily basis, you might want a quick way to check various information about them such as their size, paths, and the date when they were last modified.

Fortunately, nowadays you can rely on a broad range of software solutions that were designed precisely to serve this purpose of yours. One of them is CHK.

This app doesn't require any setup on the target computer since it is portable. Simply unpacking the archive it comes in and launching the executable grants you total control over its full range of features.

More so, you don't need to worry about it tampering with any of your Windows registry entries nor about it creating additional files or folders on your computer. It can also be launched from removable storage media.

CHK packs a plain, simplistic GUI (graphical user interface) that consists of a large central pane where all the info is displayed and a bunch of traditional menus, where you can access its functions with ease.

It also enables you to perform item-specific actions by right-clicking any entry from the list and choosing your desired function from the context menu.

The purpose of this app is to let you know various data about files on your computer, such as their name, hash code, size, the date when they've been modified, type and full path. You can add individual files or entire folders to the list by using the "File" menu.

More so, you can choose to show uppercase hashes and specify which hash algorithm should be displayed. You can select from SHA256, CRC32, MD5, Tiger, Whirlpool and many others, depending on your needs.

If you ever need a simplistic app that can provide you with various data about files on your PC, you might consider giving CHK a spin. It's portable, comes with a minimalistic interface and operating it is no rocket science.
