Hello!

This is my first post on this forum :rolleyes:

After several tests on a Windows Unattended Installation (i'm following the great guides on this site), i have found a quite annoying problem: in the Windows Console (cmd.exe) the BackSpace Key doesn't work anymore!

The unattended installation has SP2 applied, with all the latest update fixes, some registry tweaks (global and per-user).

Any suggestion?

(sorry for my bad english)

Solved!

The registry keys that generate the problem are:

; cmd prompt enhancements:  tab key completes path+filenames, UNC checks off

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor]
"CompletionChar"=dword:00000008
"PathCompletionChar"=dword:00000008
"DisableUNCCheck"=dword:00000001

Hope it helps other people!

P.S. I can't edit the topic post. I would add [SOLVED] to it. Could some admin do it? Thanks!
