There's a registry hack you can put in, and tell it to use the tab for
completion, like on Linux. I forget where I found it, but it works just
fine for me.

The NT codebase uses a 32 bit command line intrepretor (called 'cmd.exe').
It's not DOS (the old 16 bit version), it just looks and acts like DOS.
There is a "command.com", which was the name of the old DOS command
intrepretor, but I don't know if that's only 16 bit or not.
You really wanna use CMD.EXE for commandline work in Win2K. Much more
powerful than the old COMMAND.COM.

Now there's one I didn't know! Thanks.

Exchange (the mail server) is 5.5; Outlook has different version numbering.
