    HandleCountersView is a simple tool for Windows that shows the current number of handles (File, Directory, Token, Job, Thread, and so on...) opened by every process running on your system and the change in number of handles since the last time that you reset the counters.

For every process, this tool displays the total number of TCP connections, number of TCP connections for each status (Established, Listening, Syn-Sent, Syn-Received...), number of IPv4 TCP connections, number of IPv6 TCP connections, common port numbers, and more...
    If you run ProcessTCPSummary as Administrator, you can also watch the number of TCP/UDP bytes sent and received by every process as well as the current send/receive speed.
    OfflineRegistryView is a simple tool for Windows that allows you to read offline Registry files from external drive and view the desired Registry key in .reg file format.
    OfflineRegistryFinder is a tool for Windows that allows you to scan Registry files from external drive and find the desired Registry keys/values/data according to the search criteria you define. After OfflineRegistryFinder displays the search result, you can easily select one or more items and then export them into a .reg file that can be used to import in the RegEdit tool of Windows.
    AppCompatibilityView is a simple tool that displays the list of all programs that run with different compatibility settings, stored in the Registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers keys.
    It also allows you to easily modify or delete the compatibility settings of multiple applications at once.
    AppAudioConfig
    Starting from Windows Vista, you are allowed to change the sound volume of every application separately, and after you exit from the application, the last settings are saved in the Registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\LowRegistry\Audio\PolicyConfig\PropertyStore so in the next time you run the application, your last settings are used.
    This tool displays your current audio settings of every application on your system, and allows you to easily change the setting of multiple applications at once. You can change the mute/unmute status, the sound volume level, and the right/left audio balance of the application.

You can read the cookies from the current running system or from the WebCacheV01.dat database on external hard drive.

For every file, FileActivityWatch displays the number of read/write bytes, number of read/write/delete operations, first and last read/write timestamp, and the name/ID of the process responsible for the file operation.
    AppReadWriteCounter is a tool for Windows that counts and displays the current file read/write operations of every application running on your system. It displays the number of read/write bytes, the number of read/write operations, current calculated read/write speed, and the details about the application (product name, product version, and so on) that makes the file read/write operations.

    FileAccessErrorView is a diagnostic tool for Windows that displays information about errors occur while programs running on your system try to open/read/write/delete a file. FileAccessErrorView displays the filename that the application tried to open/read/write/delete, the process id/name of the application, the error code (NTSTATUS code), the description of the error code, the number of times that this error occurred, and the timestamp of this error.
    AppNetworkCounter is a simple tool for Windows that counts and displays the number of TCP/UDP bytes and packets sent and received by every application on your system.

    I think Nir Sofer Nirsoft's softwares are on par or better than Mark Russinovich Sysinternals.

    Sysinternals vs Nirsoft = no contest. These toolsets are complimentary and I find myself using them equally.
