Windows 2000 Command Prompt Auto Complete

This trick helps to avoid headaches when using the command prompt console. It turns on the auto-complete feature so that when you type 'cd d' and hit the tab key, the console displays a list of folders that begin with the 'd' letter, and you can then choose the one you're looking for, right from the console instead of typing its path.

1.Log on as Administrator,
2.Click Start, and then click Run,
3.Type Regedit and OK,
4.Double click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
5.Double click SOFTWARE,
6.Double click Microsoft,
7.Double click Command Processor,
8.In the right pane of Regedit, double click the 'CompletionChar' DWORD value,
9.Type 9 click OK,
10.Close Regedit,
11.Click start/programs/accessories/command prompt,
12.Type 'cd d' and hit the Tab key: the first folder that matches the 'd' letter is displayed (you can choose folders by using the Tab key).
