+### `command_not_found` Hook in _Windows_
+
+The following hook uses the `ftype` command, to find program paths in _Windows_ that might be relevant to the user for `alias`-ing.
+
+```nu
+$env.config = {
+    ...other config...
+
+    hooks: {
+        ...other hooks...
+
+        command_not_found: {
+            |cmd_name| (
+                try {
+                    let attrs = (
+                        ftype | find $cmd_name | to text | lines | reduce -f [] { |line, acc|
+                            $line | parse "{type}={path}" | append $acc
+                        } | group-by path | transpose key value | each { |row|
