Hi!

When you opened the run... Dialog in Win XP and started typing 'c:\w'
Windows automatically proposed you all folders and files under 'c:\' starting
with 'w'. The same was possible in explorer's address bar. This option seems
to be gone in Win Vista. Is there a way to get this back? This was a really
efficient way to find and open or run files or folders. I really miss this
feature.

Please advice.

Thanks

Bernd
 
Hi George,

Thanks for your reply.
Start search does more or less behave the way I looked for. Thanks.
However this does not work for the run menu or in Explorer's address bar. Do
you know how to enable it there?

Thanks
 
Hi!

To solve my problem I had to query the registry. After setting

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoComplete]
"AutoSuggest"="yes"

(it has been no before) it worked as expected :-)

Thanks

Bernd
