generally means "all kinds of every type" but comes from meaning "every possible filename, of every possible extension" in the context of computer command line interfaces. In an MS-DOS sense, say there were the files SETUP.BAT, MOUSE.BIN, INSTALL.EXE, and IO.SYS in a [particular] folder (which was called a directory, then). If you wanted to delete [everything] that had the Batch extension, you could type DEL *.BAT at the command line to remove them. Or, if you wanted to delete every file that began [with an I], but only the ones that were Executables, you would type I*.EXE at the command line. If you typed DEL *.* at the command line, every file in that folder would be deleted, of any name and of any extension.
