Windows is stupid.

In this case, it is stupid because it is matching on the short names that it doesn't display by default.

Found this by telling it to "move 2012*.jpg 2012\" and it proceeded to move all the pics from 2012 and a smattering from 2014, 2015, and one from 2017 into that folder.

@kurtm Things get worse when you realize how the NT kernel handles arguments.... it doesn't. Arguments are passed as one big fat string, and so each Windows command has to parse arguments on their own. So there's effectively no sane way to handle files and directories that contain spaces in their name.
