Command prompt - Auto complete

There is functionality build in CMD (windows command prompt), which allow to auto complete your folders/files names while you typing, by presing the Tab key.

This functionality should come out of the box with windows XP, without doing any spatial configuration, but for some reason it no always does.
To enable this very helpful functionality, open the registry (run "regedit"), navigate to this path [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor], find those keys and configured them as following
CompletionChar= 9
PathCompletionChar= 9

Enjoy.
