      More to the point, it isn’t included in xp.

      This place seems to be offering a download, scroll down to “F” (I can’t vouch for it’s integrity).

      http://www.petri.co.il/download_fre…

      Copy “forfiles.exe” to:

      %systemroot%\system32\forfiles.exe

      and it should work.

      Where %systemroot% is a system variable normally pointing to “c:\windows”.

      Edit:

      Forgot to mention that although it mentions Win2000 it should work just fine on xp. Win2000 is about as close as you can get to xp…
