I retract my "woops": How would you want it to work in the FileOpen dialog?  
Or in the Run Command dialog? 

Also, I strongly prefer the automatical auto-complete.  It's uncommon that I 
have to press Backspace to get rid of part of it, and having to press a key 
to activate it eliminates most of the benefit for me usage style.
