Running command prompt 'FOR' command closes window

At work my new development PC is running XP SP3 (32bit) and whenever I try to run the FOR command in command prompt the console closes!

Thi开发者_运维百科s happens when FOR is used in a BAT file as well as used on the command line.

I've tried CMD -> CMD -> FOR and then check the %ERRORLEVEL% o the remaining CMD but it returns 0

It only affects the FOR command, IF, RENAME ... all work

Has anyone else observed this / solved it?
