command prompt tab auto completion

Hi all. I was wondering if there's a way to activate a tab autocompletion
function in the command prompt (like happens on linux).
For example: if a type "ipconf" then I press TAB I would like that system
automatically complete that string in "ipconfig.exe".
Does it is possible?

Thanks in advance.
