TAB Completion in DOS

This is for people who love doing stuff in the CLI (Command Line Interface).. Playing around with the . / TAB keys

And what DOS misses is that wonderful command and directory completion feature available in linux shells. To enable TAB completion in DOS :

1. Start Registry Editor with start -> run -> regedit

2. Navigate to
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Command Processor

3. Find the CompletionChar property on the right and change its value from 0 to 9

Open up a command prompt and Give it a try
