| 19 | - Wildcard expansion is disabled by default, though it can be turned on at compile time. This only affects command line arguments to the binary: the BusyBox shell has full support for wildcards. | 19 | - Wildcard expansion is disabled by default, though it can be turned on at compile time.

| 21 | - Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 sometimes have trouble with forward slashes in environment variables. The -X shell option (which must be the first argument) prevents busybox-w32 from changing backslashes to forward slashes. | 21 | - Some crufty old Windows code (Windows XP, cmd.exe) doesn't like forward slashes in environment variables. The -X shell option (which must be the first argument) prevents busybox-w32 from changing backslashes to forward slashes. If Windows programs don't run from the shell it's worth trying it. |
| 22 | - Currently only 32-bit builds of BusyBox work. If you want to install 32-bit BusyBox in a system directory on a 64-bit version of Windows you should put it in `C:\Windows\SysWOW64`, not `C:\Windows\System32`. On 64-bit systems the latter is for 64-bit binaries. | 22 | - Currently only 32-bit builds of BusyBox work.
