Win2k actually does have tab completion but it doesn�t work that well as in
linux and only on files and directories.
Just to finish off this thread, it really isn�t Linux related but since I
use Win2k as well as linux at work I missed the completion in windows and
found a way.
Start regedit ->
HKEY_CURRENT_USER->SOFTWARE->MICROSOFT->Command Processor
There you will find a label, "CompletionChar" (if not create it)
Just enter the DWORD value 9 for TAB and there you have it.
Be sure to use the CMD shell and not Command, for some obscure reason.
It is supposed to work for NT4 aswell, haven�t tested it though.
