Command line shortcut

Anyone knows about some key combination that would automatically

finish the folder names as you typing them in? I've seen someone doing

it but I couldn't get a good look at the key combination he was using.

Hi Yaro,

 

I'm guessing you're talking about Windows Explorer. When I type in a

letter in the Address bar, all the folders beginning with that letter

show up. As I type more letters the list is shortened. I can use the

arrow keys to select the one I want. Is this what you're trying to

accomplish?

Sorry, I read your post but didn't stay in line with the Subject...

See my previous post to yaro137. In the Command Prompt, either the F

keys or arrow keys will bring back past commands or just parts of them.

 

Cheers,

Asterisk works great as well. Thanks guys. It's so much easier to use

the command prompt knowing this.
