title: Set system path for CMD on Windows 8.1: Trying to override Windows/System32/find.exe
body: <p>I'm trying to override the windows <code>find</code> command, so that I can call another implementation of <code>find</code>.  The other implementation is provided by MSYS and located in C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin.  On Windows 7, I can open up a CMD, and run:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SET PATH=C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin;%PATH%
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Since that prefixes the MSYS path before the C:\Windows\System32\ path, when <code>find</code> is called within CMD on Windows 7, the MSYS version executes.</p>
  
  <p>That command doesn't work with Windows 8.1.  When I call <code>find</code> in CMD on Windows 8.1, it defaults to the Windows implementation no matter what I do.  Is there a way to override it on Windows 8.1?</p>
  
  <p>I'm looking for a solution that only changes the path information of the current CMD instance.  For my purposes, I'd rather not have to use powershell (even though the path setting works as expected in powershell).</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
