Can globbing be disabled from MS-DOS?

Can globbing be disabled from MS-DOS?

I need to call sed from the MS-DOS command line and be able to pass 
the regular expression ".*" without having it globbed. Is there a way 
to do this?

Please, no "use Bash" responses. I use bash but many of my coworkers 
do not have it on their machines.

File name expansion (globbing) under MSDOS is handled inside each
individual program.  As such a '.*' inside a sed expressions should not
be visible to the globbing routines.

Can you send an example where '.*' is getting expanded when you don't
want it to?
