Guest yaro137@googlemail.com Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 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.

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? -- Terry R. ***Reply Note*** Anti-spam measures are included in my email address. Delete NOSPAM from the email address after clicking Reply.

In the Command Prompt, either the F keys or arrow keys will bring back past commands or just parts of them. Cheers, Twayne
