That's bizarre.  Windows Explorer does not, as far as I know, use
wildcards.  This implies that NetServer interprets wildcards when Windows
does not intend it to.

I think that's just Textpad. If you feed Textpad a "generic" file name, it attempts to open all files that match it, and as they say at help-desk, it's working as designed.
