I just stumbled across some incredible freeware utilities, many with source code

This may have been posted before, and apologies if I have created a duplicate thread with this.
 
I stumbled across a link in another forum thread, that is for a site with an absolutely incredible array of freeware utilities, developed for Windows, that may have some that would be useful for Sonar users:
 
http://www.nirsoft.net/
 
To give you an idea of what's freely available to download, there are utilities for:
 
1) Data Recovery from failed partitions and other situations
2) Windows Password Recovery
3) Reporting on Registry changes
4) Network Monitoring
5) Internet Tools
6) Duplicate Files Reporting

I've used Nir's dump analyzer. For a freebie, it's pretty good. It's been awhile, but IIRC it'll handle SONAR-generated minidumps, too, although you may need to use a command-line option to point it to the right folder.


All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

I've used Nirsoft routines for more than a decade, I think.
You might want to quarantine the password utilities if you don't need them because they throw warnings on virus scanners.
 
One of the tools I use a lot is called 'sysexp.exe'. It allows you to extract text and columns from windows.
For example:
 
I open the folder on the Nirsoft file in File Explorer, then point sysexp to it:
 

 
Then I select just the Filename column and export the data to HTML (other file types may be used).
 
I see this when I open the export file:
