It appears to be designed to checksum a large set of files to an xml file, and then be run again at a later date to ensure the checksum match and there have been no files altered. It works in Windows 7 for me. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=B3C93558-31B7-47E2-A663-7365C1686C08&displaylang=en http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;841290 Hopefully this functionality will be added to all versions of MS OS'es in the future.
