Auto-Complete commands in Win 7 Command Prompt

Did you know that there’s a way to auto complete a path or file name in the Windows 7 Command Prompt? 
 
Here’s how!

Open a Command Prompt by clicking Start, then typing cmd in the Search Box. Right Click the Command Prompt icon in the results that appear and select Run as Administrator.



In the Command Prompt window, type in the change directory command, like this:



Now hit the Tab key.



*Poof* -the path is completed!

If you keep pressing the Tab key, the Command Prompt will put forth the next applicable file or folder that’s consistent with what you’ve typed so far.
 
Note: This may not work if you don't open the prompt as Administrator
