Which version of Windows/DOS? I created dummy files with the filenames above and can't replicate:

C:\backup\drivers\test>dir *bur*
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is Dooby-Doo

 Directory of C:\backup\drivers\test

Oh yeah, that's on a WinXP system, latest patches.

Win2K Pro. The line that comes up when I launch the Command Prompt app says "Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]".
