Yes. Windows doesn't use the shell for wildcard expansion. And I don't
think it does tilde expansion of any kind, even itself.
By the way, please don't mix up top and bottom posting. Mostly on this
list we bottom post. I personally prefer top posting and often people
here won't mind either if a thread is top-posted. But mixing them up is
really confusing. If a thread is already using bottom-posting, please
keep it that way.
