Win2000Mag UPDATE, February 8, 2000 [3/3]
Konstantin Gusev
If you hate typing long directory names, such as Program Files, when
using a DOS prompt, then:
1. Use regedit32.exe.
2. Set HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command
Processor\CompletionChar to 9 (tab char).
3. Set HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command
Processor\EnableExtensions to 1 (automatically expanded).
If more than one choice exists for the start of a word, keep pressing
Tab.
Do you have a great tip for using Windows NT or Windows 2000? Let the
UPDATE staff know about it at updat...@win2000mag.com. We will edit
all submissions for style, grammar, length, and technical accuracy.
Please include your full name and an email address where other UPDATE
readers can reach you.
