Although the above method is easy, a less '
nuts and bolts' method is available through
Tweak UI for
Windows 2000. The
Tweak UI tools can be downloaded from the
Microsoft website.
Simply select the Cmd Tab and the options are right there to select which key you'd like for autocompletion. You can select different keys for directory and file autocompletion, though it strikes me that would make things a bit more fiddly.
The other advantage of this method is that you get all the other Tweak UI options to play with (it's effectively a front end for a whole load of registry tweaks), which is nice.
wharfinger informs me that all of this applies equally to Microsoft Windows NT4, and also that further information can be found in the command line help file. If you are following the non-GUI/Tweak UI method of implementing autocompletion, much information about about all the command prompt parameters can be found there - typing "help cmd" at the prompt will tell you all about what you can do in more than enough detail.
