Windows XP has a built-in command called for , but not one called forfiles . I think it's included in Windows Server 2003 and Vista, and possibly in some Windows resource kits, but not in XP.

Hi,
I am getting following error when using forfiles using command prompt:
'forfiles' is not recognized as an internal or external command.
Do I need to set any specific path before using "forfiles" command ?
Please suggest ...
Thanks
