This setting controls whether the automatic text completion (AutoComplete) feature of Windows Explorer appends the suggested text to the words as you are typing as well as showing a drop-down list of available values.
1.Open your registry and find the key below.
2.Create a new string value, or modify the existing value, named "Append Completion" and set it to "yes" to append the suggested text as you are typing or "no" to only show a drop-down list.
Restart Windows for the change to take effect.
Note: This setting also changes the auto complete functionality of Internet Explorer.
