A lot of people seem to use some of the Sysinternals programs quite regularly. Has anyone thought about making the entire suite portable? I tinkered around trying to
make regmon portable with reg rapper. I still need to tinker with it more. But I
would not be surprised if this was already done considering how useful it would be
to have all these applications on a thumbdrive. Thanks!

Heh fexy,
I use sysinternals tools all the time and would also like to see them on my portable usb. I have used the NSIS script that is posted on here to make;
Debugview, Tcpview, Portmon, ProcessExplorer and ProcessMonitor (got problems with this one).
I use all the time the PStools kit but have not found a very good way to implement this. I have currently got them in a folder as part of Command Prompt Portable and then the batch file enters the liciense info into the registry and then sets the PStools dir into the path.
If you want I could give you my scripts to help you do your own.
Also If anyone can think of a better way to do PStools I would love to hear your ideas.

Hi fexy, I created wrappers for autoruns and process explorer. Creating more wrappers will require icons. Welcome to portableapps.com!
the icons that are in the program already? The ones that Windows use for it?
Did you get a regular internet connection? I thought you were going to be gone?
I've been warned of licensing issues. "the one that windows uses for it" says alot- I'm worried about them tracking me down.
I managed to get a free computer at my college for a bit. Otherwise, I'm using a cell phone- no qwerty, so messages are quite tiring. But, its a connection.
An easy way to make Sysinternals Suite portable is to use some batch-files.
This would look like this:
1. Run batch to backup old values and apply costum settings.
2. Run any Sysinternals tools.
3. Run batch to save customized values and restore old values.
That´s it.
So I wrote five .bat-files for you:
- Batch to execute on your own(!) computer:
-> Saves your personal settings to CustomRegKey.hiv. Put CustomRegKey.hiv onto your USB-pendrive (into the folder where the batch-files are located). [1_Save own settings.bat]
- Batches to execute before(!) using Sysinternals-tools:
-> type 1: Only saves old values. [2_Execute before use, type 1.bat]
-> type 2: Saves old values, applys own values. [3_Execute before use, type 2.bat]
- Batcher to execute after(!) using Sysinternals-tools:
-> type 1: Only restores old values. [4_Execute after use, type 1.bat]
-> type 2: Saves the settings you changed, restores old values. [5_Execute after use, type 2.bat]
So, choose the combination of batches you like, execute them in the rigth order and you´ll have a "portable" Sysinternals Suite.
You can download all the batches in a zip-file here
.
Since we know that is not true I have deleted the link.
May I suggest not linking things that are obvious fakes.

The solution I found is first, copy the PsTools folder to your device (if you put it into the PortableApps folder, you need to move the exe files to a subfolder so they do not show up in the menu).
Second, install "Command Prompt Portable": https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/command_prompt_portable.
Lastly, modify the bat file (found here: \PortableApps\CommandPromptPortable\Data\Batch\commandprompt.bat) and change the directory to point to the PsTools directory. For example:
cd \PortableApps\PsTools\Apps\
After that, you can run the PsTools commands without worrying about directory changes.
Hope that helps.

leaves registry keys, but it will work.
