Try this:
GFIND -daystart -type f -a -mtime -2
where "GFIND" is the GNU "find" utility, ported to MS Windows.
Available from http://unxutils.sf.net, amongst others.
-daystart = compares from 12:00:00 AM, rather than right-this-second
-type f = files (no directories)
-a = and
-mtime -2 = modified time, 2 days ago, or newer
-mtime 2 = would give files modified *exactly* two days ago
-mtime +2 = would give you files modified older than two days ago
There is also "-mnewer", which will find files newer than a given file.
