    How to enable CMD auto completion for .exe files in path variable and commands?


    From what i can tell CMD doesn't have this functionality but that would seem like a huge oversight if that's true...Auto completion works for files in my working directory but not for files in path like ping, ipconfig, etc. Not even for built in commands like echo, dir, and cd.

    :)

    exe files will not run unless .exe extension is included in command

    KCR,

    It seems that your %PathExt% environment variable is missing its .exe entry.

    This is mine. I believe that it is in its original default state.
    Code:
    See
    Set New User and System Environment Variables - TenForumsTutorials
    List of Environment Variables - TenForumsTutorials
    Path, PathExt - SS64

    PathExt is also referred to in Command shell overview - MSDocs and discussed in Order in which command prompt executes files with the same name (a.bat vs a.cmd vs a.exe) - Stack Overflow

    How to enable CMD auto completion for .exe files in path variable and commands?

    CMD: The system cannot find the path specified.

    When you type just python somewhere instead of typing the full path to the .exe file like

    C;\program files\python3\whateverpathidunno\python.exe

    then this requires for the cmd to know where "python" is located,

    This means you need to add python to PATH which contains environment variables.
