What does |* mean?

In protected files e.g. is written %windir%*| or ?:\boot*|

Thanks for answers.

Not the easiest to understand in usage, but have a look through these links . . .

I didn’t know how to search for this symbol (|) and couldn’t find a clue on the Internet.
My concern was that it could change the protection added by any malware or so (I’m an a absolutly laymen, means I don’t know what else is possible with malware).

Edit: Ah, is called pipe symbol.

I didn't know how to search for this symbol (|) and couldn't find a clue on the Internet.

To produce this key the answer is

| = "Hold down the “ALT” button on keyboard and type in “124” Then release "alt button.

I think prodex means that it is not possible to use the | symbol in the forum search function.
When you enter the | symbol along with other search key words in the search field and hit the search button then
the forum search function responds with: Each word must be at least two characters long.

Apparently the forum search function does not support special characters like * ? or |

Yes, that’s it!
