After executing these two commands, pressing TAB will auto-complete  
matching filenames/directories:

reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor" /v CompletionChar /t  
REG_DWORD /d 9

reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor" /v PathCompletionChar  
/t REG_DWORD /d 9

(Overwrite the previous value, if exists). This is a global change and the  
logged on user must have administrative rights to modify the registry.  
Unprivileged users must use HKCU instead of HKLM.
