I have tried to rename files with the first letter being
uppercase and the file always uses a lowercase. I have
tried to create files using the first letter with a
capital. And when I look in the directory, the first
letter is lowercase. Does anyone know what is happening
here?

If you use FATxx, forget it.

NTFS does preserve case, but it doesn't display case properly unless you
implement tip 1349 in the 'Tips & Tricks' at http://www.jsiinc.com

Possibly this is "PrettyPath" related if you are in Explorer (file
manager).


JSI search does not find "dontprettypath". Perhaps Jerold will add it
(or index it).

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
\Advanced\
"DontPrettyPath"
(REG_DWORD, boolean)
