Perhaps you could add software links to your comment. I am always on the lookout for small applications that get the job done.

A good ol' favourite of mine, the DSFOK toolkit:

Sort of dd for Windows:

dsfi.exe 5,061 bytes

dsfo.exe 6,637 bytes

fsz 6,144 bytes <- same use as /dev/zero can create files filled with 00's

nircmd is great, although I wonder how much you could replace with PowerShell these days. Invaluable along with SysInternals [1]

powershell requires .net. that is no longer tiny.

Depends what boxes you're normally on, but it's a rare day I'm somewhere without .NET.

.NET's memory management can be kinda crappy though, depending of course on the program. Evens out a bit when you start to get complex things.

nircmd is low in memory footprint as well as binary size.
