hmm maybe a typo but it should be dir /s c:\*sitemap.html (can replace the drive letter and the file name of course)

RTFM!
CODE
Displays a list of files and subdirectories in a directory.
[drive:][path][filename] Specifies drive, directory, and/or files to list.
/A Displays files with specified attributes. attributes D Directories R Read-only files H Hidden files A Files ready for archiving S System files - Prefix meaning not /B Uses bare format (no heading information or summary). /C Display the thousand separator in file sizes. This is the default. Use /-C to disable display of separator. /D Same as wide but files are list sorted by column. /L Uses lowercase. /N New long list format where filenames are on the far right. /O List by files in sorted order. sortorder N By name (alphabetic) S By size (smallest first) E By extension (alphabetic) D By date/time (oldest first) G Group directories first - Prefix to reverse order /P Pauses after each screenful of information. /Q Display the owner of the file. /S Displays files in specified directory and all subdirectories. /T Controls which time field displayed or used for sorting timefield C Creation A Last Access W Last Written /W Uses wide list format. /X This displays the short names generated for non-8dot3 file names. The format is that of /N with the short name inserted before the long name. If no short name is present, blanks are displayed in its place. /4 Displays four-digit years
Switches may be preset in the DIRCMD environment variable. Override preset switches by prefixing any switch with - (hyphen)--for example, /-W.

give this a go
dir /s /a c:\sitemap.html
do the same with each drive letter so for d:\ driver its
dir /s /a d:\sitemap.html

Another good one is (that is more allround imho, also may find any locked dirs and stuff)
dir /b /s /a *.* | find "whatthefuckuaresearchingfor"
for example, the cmd
dir /b /s /a *.* | find "."
will find everything cointaining a "." so it will display every dir, even empty ones (useful for finding locked ones, or ones ur not sure what they r containing)
