SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to move a large number of files from one directory to a specified directory and you use wildcards (*) in the file name, the files are not moved to the specified directory. For example:

move c:\test\135*.dgn d:\test\135

move c:\test\136*.dgn d:\test\136

If this example, the 135*.dgn and 136*.dgn files are moved to the d:\test\135 directory.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.5 and 3.51. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
