		Description: The File And Directory Name Completion feature

		File and Directory name completion is NOT enabled by default. You can enable or disable file name completion for a particular invocation of CMD.EXE with the CMD's /F:ON or /F:OFF switch. You can also enable or disable completion for all invocations of CMD.EXE on a machine and/or user logon session by setting either or both of the following REG_DWORD values in the registry using Regedit.exe: NOTE: Editing the registry can be dangerous. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\CompletionChar and/or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\CompletionChar First, locate and double-click the CompletionChar value change the number in the Value Data text box from 0 to 9. That's it. Using it is easy. When you’re typing a filename or a folder name, you can now press [Tab] and Cmd.exe will search for and display the filename or folder name in the current directory that most closely matches the string that you’ve typed on the command line. If there are multiple matches, you can successively display each one of them by continuing to press [Tab].
