That utility is actually called find - I think, Ben, that you've renamed it for your own installation. Definitely understandable, since the Windows 'find' command is both useless and not for the same purpose as the gnu find command.
Still, this is definitely the way I'd go, though if Martin can't download that set of tools (I've had problems with it occasionally), he can try http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net - I find they are more current, and more available.
