PowerShell 4.0, shipped with Windows 8 and above, has a pretty simple Get-FileHash command built in, so you don't need a separate download on those platforms. (On Windows 7 you still need either the download you link to, or a manual upgrade to PowerShell 4.0.)

I believe the syntax is just

    Get-FileHash [file] -Algorithm SHA256

I use HashTab. It makes a tab in the file properties dialog that will automatically compute several hashes at once. It even has copy-paste-verify functionality.

For previous versions of Windows there is certutil included which can used to compute SHA1 with -hashfile option:
