on the windows command line I can autocomplete any filename/subdirectory by typing a few letters and then pressing Tab. Is there a way to extend this to anything that is in my PATH.
Example:
In my path I have the program verylongfilename.exe
In a command window that is currently in c:\temp I can type
verylongfilename.exe to run the program.
If I put verylongfilename.exe in c:\temp,
I can type very and then press tab to autocomplete.
If verylongfilename.exe is in a different directory within the path, I always have to type the file name completely.
Any way around this without installing third party tools?

From a CMD prompt or the run box, type "powershell" to give you what you're wanting.
