Anyone who is familiar with linux/unix will be aware of the tab completion features when using the command line. Windows also provides such a feature but it is disabled by default. To make this change you will be making a registry change. You should save a copy of the registry before making any changes. You may need to log in as an Administrator to make these changes.
- In type regedit(or regedit32) to start Regedit.
- Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor
- In the right pane, double click on CompletionChar.
- Change the Value data to 9.
- Click OK and exit Regedit.
On opening a new cmd window you will find that you can now use the tab for completion.
