... I can sympathize with what you are saying. I spend virtually all of my time in a command line. As a Windows driver guy, I work a lot in the \windows\system32\drivers directory. I got used to typing that as \wi <tab> \syst <tab><tab> \dr <tab> letting tab completion fill it in. Well, in Windows XP, Microsoft introduced a new utility in "system32" called "driverquery.exe". Because it is alphabetically before "drivers", that now appears. Now, you would think that this is just a trivially minor inconvenience, but to this day, 6 years after XP, I still find myself looking at "driverquery.exe" instead of the "drivers" directory.
You can fix that: set HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\PathCompletionChar (or make a shortcut to start your cmd with /F:ON") to some character other than tab (such as ^D), and use that to recognize subdirs. Then maybe you'll type: \wi <^D> \sy \<^D> <^D> \dr <^D> A directory-specific recog char was one of MS's nice improvements. --Scott David Daniels [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
