I'm not sure how to disable wildcards globally, but one thing you could do is use the escape character \ before your wildcard. ? * and other symbols are known as "special characters" (check the lq wiki). To refer to a file that contains any special character, (even executables) you need to use an escape character that tells bash, "Hey, this filename literally contains [whatever]".
So you would run an executable called aa.* in your current directory with:
--Shade
Edit to add: This probably would have fit better in linux-general, instead of linux-software as it has to do with syntax.
