In Unix it is 'which', any ideas for Windows?? (W2K)

[nehrbass]

Unix has a nifty command line tool called 'which' which designates the location of an executable in a path. It is useful to quickly locate an executables path.

I know you can look in the registry for the executable path in windows, but, is there any command line options available?

I don't think so. I was looking at the diruse command. Unfortunately,no go.

you may try the following:
dir /b/s myexe.exe

this command searches for 'myexec.exe' from the current path to any depth after that, and displays the full path and filename. you can use wildcards...
