You can probably use FindFirstFile for that:

Standard UNIX-ish glob implementations aren't ideal for strings like
"C:\Program Files\stuff" anyway. More notes on this subject:

If you look at the Perl code providing a Windows-oriented glob:
http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/TATE/File-Glob-Windows-0.1.3/lib/File/Glob/Windows.pm
you can see it even worries about things like correctly handling the fact
that there's a current directory on each drive in Windows land.
