Hello,

I've just installed a few of the GnuWin32 packages and have a few questions
(I'm used to the Mac GUI). I've installed the packages in C:\Program
Files\GnuWin32\bin

1) One of the packages I'm using is findutils, which has a 'find' command of
course. Since Windows also has a built-in 'find' command, what determines which
command gets executed? Is it the order of the paths stored in the PATH 
environment
variable?

2) What is the command (GNUWin32 or built-in) that can allow me to open a list
of files with whatever app is associated with them? For example, if I have a
folder on the desktop that has some jpgs in it, how can I open them all with
say Photoshop?

I think the syntax would look like:
find "C:/path/to/desktop/images" -name "*.jpg" -print0 | xargs -0 <some command
to open these files>

Regards,
Sean
