If you take the following text between the --- characters and put it into a
file called something.reg (completion.reg) then you can double-click on it
to make the change, you'll be prompted, so you can cancel if you chicken out
at the last second.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor]
"CompletionChar"=dword:00000009

I assume no responsibility for any damage done by modifying the registry...
Do this at your own risk. As an extra precaution, wait until someone else on
the list says whether this is a bad idea... Remember, that this is not for
Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows ME.

I didn't know that! Thank's for the tip. :slight_smile:
(Although I have to admit I find the registry
a bit scary...)

To get file completion on any version of windows go here:

and get 4DOS or 4NT. It's a very excellent command line shell that can
replace command.com or cmd.exe. In addition it has aliases, enhanced
batch-scripting commands, etc., etc. It's not free but well worth the price
IMHO.

Alternativly, if you like a *nix-like shell but don't want all the cygwin
crud you have to deal with when using bash then do a google for "zsh.exe"
