Turn AutoCompletion on for Run Command
Have you ever been typing a file path in the run command and had to hit the down arrow to select the file you want from the drop down list? Wouldn't it be better if as you typed it automatically filled in the text for you?
The run command uses the
SHAutoComplete interface which is also how IE and most other auto completing text/combo boxes in windows do auto complete. By default the auto complete mode is set to suggest only, meaning just give a drop down of items that match what I have typed. There is also an auto complete mode to append, which automatically fills in the text with the closest match from the suggest list. The append mode is turned off by default but you can enable it by going to
Internet Options >
Advanced, and checking the box next to
Use inline AutoComplete, or if you like you can change it in the registry
