"Old style" auto completion
As far as I know every drop box in XY offers auto completion based on the previous inputs. Would it be possible at least for the address bar to offer auto completion based on the contents of the address entered so far (e.g. if I enter "c:\" I'd like to get suggestions for "Documents and settings", "Program files" and whatever else is on c:\)?

I don't understand the difference between "previous inputs" and "entered so far".agnul wrote:As far as I know every drop box in XY offers auto completion based on the previous inputs.

I'll try to explain :-)
If I enter "c:\" in the address bar XY will offer to complete "c:\program files" only if I entered the whole "c:\program files" string some time before. What I'd like is XY offering "c:\program files" no matter what, just because looking in c:\ there's a "program files" folder.
To see what I mean you could try the address bar in Windows Explorer. Enter "c:\" and it will open the combo box suggesting every file and folder name in c:\.
Hope it's clear now, or I'll have to explain that in Italian
