Thanks.

I think I didn't make myself clear.
I use ido mode in Emacs, which means when you input `C-x C-f * RET' ,
emacs will open a new file named " * " instead of open all the files.

At present I just close the ido mode first, then open all files, and
open ido mode again.
I'd like to know whether there is a smarter way to do this.

EMACS makes me want to be much more lazyer!!       ^_^
