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 expansion", so this is bound to be completely safe[1]. 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.
