I did some testing and found that *\whatever.exe does not work, while *whatever.exe does. In case anyone thinks to themselves, "but that could cause problems for xwhatever.exe!", I tested further and found that it only affects programs with the name whatever.exe and not those such as xwhatever.exe.
This is really confusing IMO. When people see *[filename] they're going to think of shell globbing, whether we want them to or not. Perhaps "*\whatever" /should/ be the supported syntax?
