     That's true.  The data value below is the <TAB> character.  You could 
     theoretically change it to something else.
     
     The actual key is:
     HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor
     
     Note the space between Command and Processor is necessary.

     CMD also has case-insensitive filename completion.  I believe it's 
undocumented, although this may have changed. . .  Here's what you need 
in your registry (under HKEY_CURRENT_USER) to turn it on:
     
       Key Name:          Software\Microsoft\Command Processor
         Name:            CompletionChar
         Type:            REG_SZ
         Data:            9
     
(grepping the web for CompletionChar may turn up more info).
