Gvim doesn't suggest filenames with :e TAB, puts ^I instead

Hello all,

When I type :e in vim and then press TAB, vim suggests filenames in that directory. However, when I do the same in gvim, it instead shows ^I for every TAB press instead of suggesting filenames. Anyone know what's going on here ?

Thanks in advance.

Found the solution on the below page:

Adding this line to .gvimrc did the trick:
set nocompatible
