Per Char Jackson:
I don't know what the basis of that might be, but Nirsoft has been
around for ages and have proven themselves to be completely
trustworthy.

Based on that, I went back and clicked the "Download 64-bit
version" button, but Chrome popped "nircmd-x64.zip appears
malicious".

I don't know who that is coming from. Avast, maybe?

I've had the nirsoft utilities forever. MS Security Essentials started
complaining about one of them a year or so ago and I stopped using MSSE
for that very reason. The nirsoft utilities include password readers and
resetters that MS doesn't think I should have.
