Appreciate your help !

Answer 1

This tutorial should help you get started.

Answer 2

Not sure what you want to do with the files after you have found them but you could use the ForFiles command.

Answer 3

I have previously misunderstood the question. Here is the updated answer.

The syntax is a little bit different for different OS.

forfiles /d +2      (Windows Server 2008)
forfiles -d+2       (Windows 2000)

In case there is no such command in your OS, here is a link for downloading the FORFILES command.

You can even specify what you want to do for those files. Type forfiles /? or forfiles -? for help.
