If you work on both Windows and Unix boxes, especially if you are used to the BASH shell, you are probably used to being able to hit Tab in Linux to automatically complete a file or directory name. If you want the same functionality when using the Win2K command prompt, change the following registry key to a value of 9 instead of the default 40:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE|SOFTWARE|Microsoft|Command Processor|CompletionChar
Makes things much nicer/faster and saves you from a lot of unneeded typing!
(BTW, Anybody know what the PathCompletionChar entry [Also under the Command processor branch] does?)
