A very useful command on unix-like systems is the whence command (sometimes called whereis). This tells you where a binary, source and manual file are located. This is handy for those CRAFT moments where you know a useful tool is on the system somewhere but you can't recall where.

Windows it seems has a similar command called where. Not sure when this was introduced but it seems to operate in a similar way. The only downside is that it is PATH driven. I could go to the trouble of adding to the path for common commands but a) that is work and b) it could have side effects.

Is there a better command I can lean on without having to trawl the file system myself with DIR /S or the like?
