Killer tip for DOS Maniacs in an XP environment . . .

Speedy directory navigation at the Command Prompt

If you spend time working at the Command Prompt, you know how
frustrating it can be to navigate between different folders
using the Change Directory (CD) command. For example, if the
folder name contains multiple words, you must remember to
enclose the name in quotes. And, if there's even one typo in the
folder name, you have to start all over. Fortunately, you can
use the Command Prompt history feature to easily correct typos
without having to type the entire command from scratch.

However, you can save yourself from ever having to type folder
names at the Command Prompt simply by using [Tab]. Here's how:

1. Open a Command Prompt window.
2. Type CD, press the space bar once, and then press [Tab].

As you continue to press [Tab], Windows XP will display the name
of every subfolder contained in the current folder. If the
folder name contains multiple words, Windows XP automatically
encloses the name in quotes. When you see the folder to which
you want to navigate, all you have to do is press [Enter].
