I'm starting to think that this might not be a problem with OpenFile because
you see them as normal files on Windows without the trailing dot. I can see
files with trailing dots on Windows 7 with an NTFS partition if I create them
myself. Which version of Windows are you using?

Btw I can't create files with trailing dots with notepad anymore. Echo works
fine though:

echo Wine > "\?%USERPROFILE%\sherry."

You can delete it again using the following command:

del "\?%USERPROFILE%\sherry."
