The irony here is that Windows 7 (as with pretty much all versions of Windows) creates directories with spaces in the names such as "My Programs" and uses them for important things. This combined with the fact that Windows in a default configuration doesn't have any sort of filename completion functionality is a PITA when you want to use a cmd.exe session.
So Windows makes the problems worse by bad default directory names and then offers nothing to alleviate the problems such as TAB for filename completion.
Rubbish on filename completion too. C:\Users\andrewm>dir Doc[tab] .... gives you C:\Users\andrewm>dir Documents And if there are other matches, then repeatedly tabbing gives the other options. If you create three directories, such as aaa, aab and aac, then you can type "cd aa" and repeatedly hit tab and it will cycle through those names (plus any others that might start with aa). Cheers A.
