Searching the path in Windows to find a file

Question

I know there is a small utility program to do this, but my memory fails me. I often want to find the location of an executable that is somewhere on my windows path -- I just don't know where. I know it is on my path because I can run it regardless of my current directory. Can someone refresh my recollection? :-)
