Tab Auto-Completion in Windows XP Command Line

After using GNU/Linux operating system, i really fell in love with working on command-line aka terminal. At work i need to use Windows XP operating system, and i dont feel at home when it comes to using command line. I changed its looks to matrix-style green font with black background and using lucida console font. The look-and-feel of XP command line can be changed in window properties. Using backslash for typing file path always sucks, and i cant do anything about it. However, i did enable tab auto-complete feature which increased my speed of working.


To enable tab-completion, open regedit using run window.

Goto path "My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor"

Now change hex value of fields "CompletionChar" and "PathCompletionChar" to "9"

Close regedit


After completing these steps you should be able to use tab completion feature.

Keyboard Shortcut Combo To Increase Viewing Space in Adobe Reader

When i work on any program, i like to see the window in fullscreen mode. While using adobe reader, i know the keyboard shortcuts for page-up, page-down, zoom-in, zoom-out etc.

Hence i don't need to see the toolbars and menubar which unnecessarily occupy viewing space for me.

To enter fullscreen mode, i use Ctrl + L

Here are the keyboard shortcuts that i use for increasing the viewing space.

F8 -> Hide Toolbar
F9 -> Hide Menubar

F8 + F9 -> Get maximum viewing space without enter fullscreen mode.
