Finding all files belonging to different user in XP Pro

I have a minor problem in my network -- when I set my laptop
up several years ago, I created my account as "Mike" -- all my
other accounts are "Mikey". I want to change the underlying
account so it matches the rest of the machines in my network. I have researched the issue of creating the new user,
copying the profile etc. Also how to take ownership of the
files so that my new "self" owns the files. What I have not been
able to find the answer to is "how do I find all files owned by
'Mike' so I can take ownership of them ??". If the account names are really the same, it makes sharing files etc much easier (yes, I know I can change the "viewed" name, but that
does not change the actual account).
XP Pro, SP2 and I have full admin on all machines.
It's easy in Unix using the find command to find all the files
and change the owner on one line - just can't find the key
to doing it in windows (no, not windows bashing, just wishing to get the equiv. of the find command here !)
