Windows Command Prompt auto-completion with forward slashes?

Question

I switch between Linux and Windows quite a lot and it's annoying the hell out of me that the Windows command prompt won't auto-complete directory paths when I press Tab if I use forward slashes like in Linux.

For example, if I'm trying to navigate to a directory 'bin':

cd /path/to/dir/b <tab> - this won't auto-complete to 'bin'

cd \path\to\dir\b <tab> - this will auto-complete.

Can I tell the Command Prompt to use forward slashes instead?

Answer 1

The short answer is no. The longer better answer is that since you are on Windows 7, you should move to using powershell instead of cmd which will autocomplete using /.
