Line 1:
In [[Unix]] you can 'autocomplete' a command using tab. I bloody wish I could do that in a [[Windows]] [[DOS]] [[shell]]... what?? I can??
start regedit
From Start => Run or in a command prompt, enter 'regedit';
navigate to
Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/Command<space>Process
set completion characters
Change CompletionChar and PathCompletionChar keys to 0x09 (TAB)
test
Open a new command prompt. It should start on your system disk.
Enter:
cd prog[TAB]
By using the TAB completion character, the command prompt
'completes' the name and should show:
cd "Program Files"
If more than one file/path exists starting with 'prog', pressing TAB
repeatedly cycles through all matches.

You could install [http://www.cygwin.com/ cygwin] and use [http://home.wanadoo.nl/fvu/Projects/Bash/Web/bash.htm] bash on windows]
--mutante
I have [[Cygwin]] installed, but this wiki page should state for what windows version the embedded autocomplete function applies to, yes?

OKI this was intended for win NT4, but it did work on 2k as well...
you can also download [[TweekUI]] 2k, and it has a option in there to set this too
