Where does Windows 10 install games downloaded from the store? I just bought Minecraft for Windows 10 through the Xbox store app. I'd like to connect the.exe file to a mouse profile switcher so it will automatically save my macros and stuff. But I can't find the.exe anywhere. WHERE file will work. It's different from the 'locate' command in that it's not looking through the entire filesystem. Instead, the default behavior is to look for files in two locations: The current directory. All of the directories in the PATH variable.

• How To Find Game Executable File
• Executable File Game Maker

I remembered that I used a tool called as where to find locations for any executable programs like this in a console:

• Download exe file game for computer for free. Games downloads - Call Of Duty - World At War by Activision and many more programs are available for instant and free download.
• What is game.exe? The genuine game.exe file is a software component of Blizzard North Diablo II by Blizzard Entertainment. Game.exe is an executable file that runs Diablo II, an action role-playing hack and slash video game. This is not a critical Windows component and should be removed if.
• I did my 2nd win7 install (both 64x, one home premium, one pro). Both install a number of the usual windows games (eg solitaire, hearts etc). On one system it's ok. On the other system i got all the links in the start menu but the links are all dead, ie not functional. I can't on either system figure out where the executable files are to build links to.
• The reason why you may want to convert your game into an executable is so that you can share it with people who may not have PyGame or Python installed. In order to use cxFreeze, you will need to download and install it. The official source is: cxFreeze website/.
• Home: Browse: Executable Files Executable Files. Executable files contain code that is run when the file is opened. Windows programs, Mac OS X applications, scripts, and macros are all considered executable files. Since these file types run code when opened, unknown executable files, such as those received as e-mail attachements, should not be.

Now I cannot find this tool. Not sure if Windows has a build-in tool to do that search?

I think you may be thinking of the which command in Linux.

I'm not aware of an equivalent tool in Windows.

EDIT: I just remembered that there's a package called Unix Utils for Windows that would provide this functionality for you.

According to the StackOverflow answer at Is there an equivalent of 'which' on windows?, where.exe does this on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 and later:

EDIT: I should have added, if you can't use the WHERE command from the command prompt, check your PATH variable. (Just use the 'path' command.) Make sure C:WindowsSystem32 is in your path. That's where 'where.exe' is located.

WHERE is the command you're looking for! WHERE is like a cross between the UNIX shell built-in 'which' and the 'locate' command, in that it works for both command executables and regular files.

It's also somewhat more complex than either of those two, although, in general a simple

will work.

It's different from the 'locate' command in that it's not looking through the entire filesystem. Instead, the default behavior is to look for files in two locations:

• The current directory.
• All of the directories in the PATH variable.

So, any command that you can run directly from a command prompt without specifying the directory, will be found by the WHERE command. (Because any command like that is already in the PATH variable list.)

If you want to search only in the command path variable, you can use:

If, on the other hand, you want to find all copies of a file in a directory tree, you can use:

Finally, WHERE will find commands and any files with an extension from the PATHEXT variable without including the extension. All other files have to be specified either exactly or with wildcards.

Take for example the files 'dxdiag.exe' and 'dxdiagn.dll'. Note the following command and its output:

It succeeds in returning all versions of 'dxdiag.exe' because '.exe' is one of the extensions in the PATHEXT variable. (Note: 'WHERE dxdiag' would have worked as well, because C:WindowsSystem32 is in the PATH variable.)

on the other hand, fails to return any result, because '.dll' is not in PATHEXT.

In this case, look at the result that adding a wildcard gives us:

It successfully returns all versions of dxdiagn.dll.

For more information, use 'WHERE /?'. Hope this helps!

use dir:

the cd part changes you to the root of the drive, to ensure searching starts at the top of the hierarchy.

Note that some things might be a little different for PowerShell:

Frustrating that it's not built-in as a simple command.

However, there are several solutions, one of which is a batch file.

Create a batch file (which.bat) as follows:

Web Editor (LWE) is included in the current service pack. Siemens logo software windows 10. The LOGO! With a demo version of LOGO! Web editor (LWE) runs on operating systems Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.Controllable by any terminal device.Customizable resolution (according to your device).

This looks in the local directory, will take a filename parameter with or without an extension, and return the first match from the current directory or in the PATH.

Then run it like which cmd.exe to find the cmd.exe that will execute if you type in cmd.

On windows you can use the free utility Everything search engine to search instantly for any file by full or partial name (if your hard disk is formatted in ntfs).

If you just want which, the GnuWin32 project has a bunch of unix utils with individual installers.

In PowerShell

You can easily convert this into a Cmdlet.

Another way to accomplish this, as suggested in an edit:

How To Find Game Executable File

If you just need the path to launch it, it's often better to use the start command. For example, you can use 'start chrome.exe' to start Chrom{e ium}, regardless of where it is installed.

I have the same problem in that I cannot find my game files anywhere.

My story in short: I got a gift certificate for Christmas for Xbox but have a 360 I no longer use. Found out I could use that to buy PC games and bought Middle-earth: Shadow of War. First game purchase ever from Microsoft Store.
After playing a couple times the game will not run after displaying the start up screen. After trying a few things I just reinstalled the game after a 6 hour re-download time and the game worked fine. After a few more plays it fails to run again.
I see fixes on Steam forums on playing with the game settings, but I need to find the setup files first. They are either cleverly hidden in generically named folders or in hidden folders or possibly on a cloud somewhere because searching for keywords involving that game is coming up with nothing my desktop icons. It's like I don't really own the game I paid for.

If I don't find a fix my $60 is wasted and I will never purchase through the Windows Store again.
