Find.exe
Find String (grep) Utility
Description
Find.exe is used to search for a string within a file or set of files. Options include looking for files that do not contain the string, ignoring case, and others. Find does not work well with Unicode strings, common in many Windows files.
Find.exe is a 32/64-bit executable for a command line application that has no GUI.
This directory holds the 32-bit system files on the 64-bit editions of Windows. WOW stands for Windows On Windows. When a 32-bit program runs, Windows will simulate this directory as being c:\windows\system32 for backwards compatibility.
The WinSxS directory holds Windows Side-by-Side DLLs. WinSxS allows multiple versions of the same DLL (code libraries) to exist on the same system. This ensures that every application will get the DLL version they were tested and designed for. The result is improved application and system stability. See details for full directory location.
There are no known security risks in using Find.exe assuming it has not been modified or replaced by virus or malware and it resides in the default directory. This file is installed as part of the Windows operating system.
