+!Having trouble with windowsupdate.microsoft.com
+
+Apparently people who have recently visited windowsupdate.microsoft.com are being told that their system is completely up-to-date, even when they know it isn't or hasn't been updated for months.

+On the NZNOG mailing list, Nathan Mercer gives this advice:

+!Windows 2000 Tab Completion
+
+Everyone loves TabCompletion. Enabled in the command processor in Windows XP, it was introduced in Windows 2000 but not implemented.
+
+* Run Regedit (Start, Run, Regedit)
+* Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor\
+* Double click !CompletionChar and change whatever is there with '9' ([ASCII] value for Tab). Click OK.
+
+You'll have to restart any cmd.exe's you might have open to have them notice the change.
