As you can see, this is a tool designed for NirSoft applications. But don’t worry, it is possible to extend its capabilities through plugins. Therefore, it is possible to manage collections developed by third parties. Then we can also manage the SysInternals collection.
Configuring NirLauncher

- Then download the SysInternals Suite ZIP file from here. Please unzip it in the newly created NirLauncher folder.
- It’s time to go back to the NirLauncher website. Please scroll down to the bottom for additional downloads. As a result, you will get some plugins with the *.nlp extension. The first ones in the list are related to SysInternals. Download the latest version, sysinternals5.nlp. Finally, save it in the SysInternalsSuite folder created in the previous step.
- Next, just run NirLauncher.exe. Now in the taskbar, please follow the following path: Launcher>Add Software Package. Now, select the SLP file.
- Once this is done, we will have access to the SysInternals applications. In addition, it is possible to switch between collections in the Packages option.
