Tab completion on the Windows command line
Have I mentioned that I use the command line a lot? Yeah, I'm pretty sure I have. At any rate, one of the most useful features of the Windows command line, which I'm sure many of you use very day, is tab completion. In short, instead of having to type out an entire long filename, you can just type the beginning of it, press tab, and its name will be completed for you. This is especially handy for file and folder names that have spaces in them, which can otherwise be a pain. In case this is new to you, you can acquaint yourself with the feature with this guide from Microsoft blogger Derek Dysart. Oh, and in case you use Windows 2000, for which this feature is mysteriously disabled by default, Dysart tells you the magic registry setting for turning it on.[Via Lifehacker]
