I have to assume I was confused about the directory I was working in, but when I initially installed Win8, I would swear that I had %PATH% tab completion. As in >pi tab becomes >ping. Was I dreaming, or did I do something since then that broke it?

You were using PowerShell, Command Prompt doesnt support tab completion natively.

Well, it was a while ago, and I suppose I could have confused my memory. I don't like powershell so much, so I don't know why I would have been using it. Oh well. – Thomas – 2012-09-21T18:11:55.427
2This is true for the Powershell console, but not I pelieve for cmd. – EBGreen – 2012-09-20T15:13:18.540
Do you mean that you want it to find items even when they’re not in the current directory? If so, then no, there’s no way to do that with the command-prompt, but you could try a third-party version like Console2 or something (I don't think they support that either, but you could try requesting the feature). – Synetech – 2012-09-21T15:06:22.563
