Multiple file loading from the context menu now works as expected on slower machines

Added a second progress bar to indicate total progress, not just file progress
In Windows 7 the taskbar button now shows the total progress
Hashes are now compared when manually setting a "compare hash", not just after hashing
Multiple instance detection now works much better

Changed: HashTools is now a single-instance application, meaning anytime you click "Hash with HashTools" it will add the file(s) to the already running instance of HashTools
Changed: You can now manually add a hash to compare by right-clicking a file in the list and selected "Set Compare Hash"
Changed: The default folder for an SFV file is now the common root of the files in the list
Fixed: No more interface flicker when resizing and scrolling the file list
Fixed: CRC32 hashes for 0 length files are now correct

Changed: Completely new interface
Changed: Can generate and check hashes for multiple files and folders (with sub-folders)

Changed: Installer can now create desktop icon and Windows context menu entries
Fixed: "Add/Remove Context Menu Items" now works correctly in Windows Vista and Windows 7
Fixed: Installer now removes Windows context menu entries during uninstall

Changed: Now looks for hash in "filename.ext.hash", not "filename.hash" (ex: MyFile.iso.sha1 for a SHA1 hash)
Changed: Updated icons to make it consistent with other Binary Fortres Software applications
Changed: Replaced the hash comparing message boxes by changing the textbox background colour instead (more subtle, less intrusive)
Fixed: Properly stops hashing if the application is closed before hashing has completed
