Tab complete in Windows 2000
Apr 6th, 2007 by Matt
Problem
You want to use tab completion in an MS-DOS box, just like in a Unix shell.
Solution
It's enabled by default in XP, but in Win2000 you need to set the completion character to '09' (hex for tab) in following registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\CompletionChar = 09
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\PathCompletionChar = 09
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\PathCompletionChar = 09
