No I mean, I want to pass in all the files in a directory to a windows

What if the tool handles argv[1] and exits? Or writes to argv[2] if any.
Then you can't pass it more than one parameter? I don't get the point.
No, the shell expands wildcards, not the OS.
It was just a sarcastic comment about incredible consistency of wildcard
expansion in linux.
Having the expansion of wildcards built into the OS would be bad. I don't
need to get into that.
