After I type a few characters on the Windows 2000 DOS shell, pressing
the <tab> key does not expand for more characters to complete my
typing. Using the same procedure, i.e. pressing the <tab> key on the
Windows XP DOS shell will expand for more characters to complete my
typing.
Please help to fix my Windows 2000 DOS shell tab key problem.
Thanks.
DOS could never do this but the "Command Prompt" under
Win2000 can. Launch it like so:

cmd.exe /f:on

then use Ctrl+F to expand your file & folder names.

It works.
Thanks!

Thanks from me also.

It prompted me to do a CMD.exe /? .... some interesting stuff in there!
