Is the find command in the Windows 7 DOS Command Prompt? I tried to type "find" just in the cmd console, but it shows a message the command is not recognized. I run it as an administrator. Any ideas?

What kind of Windows 7 do you have? (professional|ultimate|etc) Find works fine on my computer (Windows 7 Home Premium): FIND: Parameter format not correct – itdoesntwork Jan 7 at 21:34
I can use "find" here under windows 7 ultimate. what if you run "help find"? – Robbie Liu Jan 7 at 21:35

I solved it :). I tried to run the command from the other path than "C:\Windows\system32\" and it caused the issue. – daroPL Jan 7 at 21:40
Hmm so strange.. does your PATH variable have the System32 folder? – vrtx64 Jan 7 at 21:46

"Windows 7 DOS" does not exist. The 'Command prompt' and its associated tools are 32-bit Windows programs. – grawity Jan 7 at 22:07
