Carlos, if you are using CMD.EXE (that is, on Win2K or XP), try running

CMD /F:ON (I have a desktop link to cmd.exe that does this). This gives Ctrl-F to complete filenames and Ctrl-D for directories. You can change the keys used by tweaking the registry, but I've never felt the need. You'll get a description from "help cmd".
