Please start an elevated command prompt on your PC, and type the command
rmdir /s /q C:\WINDOWS
There are no special characters here, so no possibility of "automatic

Can you not see that danger is unrelated to the existence of globbing? Danger
is a result of people not knowing what the commands they type do.
