At work, at our main office:

We have 3 gateways: One to the Internet (routerA), one to our
inter-state office (routerB), and one to an Intranet overseas
(routerC). All 3 gateways we have no control over so we can't view let
alone modify their routes or configuration.

At our inter-state office (remote office):
Our XP machines can communicate with PCs at the main office. Internet
access also works fine. But no PC can ping or make contact with the
gateway to the Intranet since the packet gets forwarded to the Internet
gateway instead of the Intranet gateway.

Is there a command I can issue on each XP box so that, for certain
network address(es), the packet should forwarded onto RouterC after
passes thru routerB? At the moment I believe whats happening is the
packet gets to RouterB, which in turns forwards it onto RouterA (the
Internet) since the destination is not local.
 
Any changes you make to a workstation's routing table only affect the
local LAN. If you have more than one gateway, you can control which traffic
uses which gateway.

If you only have one gateway (to router B), you can't really control
what happens beyond that. Any change would have to be made at router B (and
possibly router C as well, to ensure your return traffic got to router B for
the return journey).
