although this isnt somthing for a "new to xp" user , others may find it usefull
one of the first things i do when i install xp or 2k is goto
hklm/software/microsoft/windows/command processor
and change compleationchar to a 9 ...
this makes the tab key finish whatever your typing in the command prompt .. for instance you would only need to type
cd docu<tab>
and it would put documents and settings their for you ... extreamly usefull if you do alot of work in the command window ( and most mame users do )
if you dont know what hklm is .. then you shouldnt be messing with it to begin with
for me this is not entirely correct..
the command processor is not located in windows, it is located directly in microsoft. and the right place to toggle this setting is not in hklm.
the right place is under the second one from the top. hk current user..
this is the case in my xp. maybe this depends on how you have setup the user accounts in xp or something. well i dont now.
but as you said, this is a very good thing
