Both doskey and autocompletion were there for me with Win XP Pro when I bought my current computer in January.

Interesting, somebody must have set something up because neither are the default options.

Searching Google Groups I found how to set a list of doskey macros.

Yes I only discovered the ability to create macros in DOSKEY myself while researching this thread! I successfully created one but then couldn't figure out how to save it, thanks for the URL.

I haven't needed to do this either.

I'm not sure how that's been done then, I couldn't see a way of turning it on in the registry other than as part of the shortcut stuff...
