About NirLauncher
NirLauncher is a package of more than 200 portable utilities for Windows from NirSoft. It runs from a USB flash drive or other disk without installation and includes tools to recover lost passwords, monitor a network, view and extract browser cookies and cache, and search files.
When used from a USB drive, each utility's configuration is saved to a .cfg file on the drive, and x64 versions are used automatically on x64 systems where available. The package excludes NirSoft utilities not updated since 01/10/2007, lists Windows 2000 through Windows 10 as supported, and notes that antivirus software may flag password-recovery tools.
