My favourite : 
  tree c:\foo\bar\*.bak
will find all .bak files below c:\foo\bar and give full information
including
attributes, date, size and path - for all files, even for sh-attributes
set.
(Note that you don't need the /f option when you specify a file name)

  xdir /s might also do the job, but I've hardly used it yet ..
