Scroll down to Auto-Completion.

Does the tab key work for anyone running Windows ?
Is this an OS specific feature?

I've not read the article but I suspect it requires a GNU library to be included which seems to be standaard on *nix but not on XP.

I'm running Windows XP - when I run this example, tab only moves the
cursor over, not the auto completion.

You can get the XP CMD prompt to do most of the Linux/bash like things, including autocompletion, but its not turned on by default. If you run HELP CMD at a CMD prompt you can read the long description of the ptions and how to enable them. This is very worth while if you use the cMD prompt regularly IMHO!
