  Hi,

  I'm not 100% sure if you want just teh contents of teh windows directory or everything on the disk but this is much easier in PowerShell

  (This will change into the root of your C Drive)
  PS>cd c:\ 
  (This will change into the windows directory)
  PS>cd c:\windows

  This will return all files beginning with wi
  PS>Get-ChildItem wi* -recurse

  if you really want to do it in batch file/cmd then 

  cd c:\
  dir wi* /s
