Windows XP cmd.exe file/directory name completion

In Windows XP, to enable/customize CMD.EXE file/directory name completion, open REGEDIT and go to this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor

Here's some info on the values that may be present, and my own settings.

Value NameValue TypeDefaultMy Setting
CompletionCharREG_DWORD0x06 (Ctrl-F)0x09 (TAB)
PathCompletionCharREG_DWORD0x04 (Ctrl-D)0x09 (TAB)
EnableExtensionsREG_DWORD[not sure]0x01

I think TweakUI sets these as well.
