Adding autocomplete feature to NT/Win2k shell

Unix-style autocompletion is quite a handy thing. To add it to your cmd.exe you need to do the following:

1) start regedit.exe
2) search the key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\\\Software\\\\Microsoft\\\\Command Processor\\\\CompletionChar
3) change CompletionChar from 0 to 9

that is it! [1]
