I installed UnxUtils on Windows 7. But when I try to use find in cmd.exe, Windows’s find.exe in system32/ is the one that gets invoked. How do I tell Windows to prefer the find.exe from UnxUtils instead of Windows’s find?
You can do this by adding a reference to the executable file to your “Path” system variable.
1) Right click on “Computer” from the Start Menu.
2) Select “Properties”
3) Click “Advanced System Settings”
4) Click “Environment Variables”
5) Select the “Path” System Variable
6) Click “Edit”
7) Add the path to the UnxUtils bin directory to the begining of your path:
ie: C:\UnxUtils\bin; C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows…
(DON’T COPY AND PASTE THIS)
8) Ok and Exit out of the Prompts.
Now in new and subsequent command prompts UnxUtils executables should be picked up first.
