Windows NT, 2000 & XP have an undocumented registry setting. Go into Regedit (after backing it up, and be sure you know what you are doing) Change HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\CompletionChar to 9 hex This will set the command completion to TAB. Note that Microsoft cmd completion is not as good as Gnu.
