Hi,
UPDATE: The results are the same in:
1) Safe mode
2) Clean boot
I'm not a newbit (having been using computers for over 30 years), but I just can't see what I'm doing wrong. My its my 57 year old eyes. I'm sure it is something simple.
I'm very much into command lines, as when I started using computers it was with VM/370 and later Unix (UNICOS). So, anyway, today I'm using the Windows 7 Ultimate x64 command prompt (cmd.exe) in admin mode.
The problem is the results I'm getting back from the dir command don't makes sense. An example is:
dir *3*
I think it should return all the file names where the number 3 appears. Instead it is returning file names that don't have the number 3 in it (or in the extension, even).
Here are two examples (copied and pasted):
EXAMPLE ONE:
Wed 01/29/2014 7:41:11.72 D:\Sword_Art_Online>dir *3*.ts *3*.mp4

I agree some results the number 3 in them, but some results simply don't seem to have the requested character. An example of a result that I can't figure out why I'm getting it is:
01/26/2014 07:10 PM 2,682,797,600 Sword_Art_Online_S01_E21_The_Truth_of_Alfheim_NOCC.ts
I don't seet the character 3 anywhere in either the file name or extension. The only numbers are 0, 1, and 2. Thus 3 shouldn't return, should it?
OK, I'm sure I didn't find a bug in Windows 7 Ultimate x64, so what am I doing wrong, missing, or not understanding.

Where in the file name or extension is the character 2? (e.g. dir *2*)
Where am I going wrong in these two examples? (BTW, it occurs on other disks, too. The disks are SATA II drives.)
Thanks,

P.S. I thought I'd add two last examples:
