Hi Donald,
I am glad to see your work aroud.
I think the "all lower case" issue is really a problem and take much
inconvinience to the customer.
I think you can put your suggestion to Microsoft at the link below:

| For what it's worth, I extended Jeffery's suggestion to
| get the proper case names for all directory for the file:
|
| private void GetProperCase(ref string FilePath)
| {
| // Separate all directory names and the file name
| string[] dirs = FilePath.Split
| (Path.DirectorySeparatorChar);
|
| // Start from the drive root directory
| FilePath = FilePath.Substring(0, FilePath.IndexOf
| (Path.DirectorySeparatorChar, 0) + 1);
|
| // Enumerate from top down.
| for (int i = 0; i < dirs.Length - 1; ++i)
| {
| DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(FilePath);
| FileSystemInfo[] infos = di.GetFileSystemInfos(dirs[i
| + 1]);
| if (infos.Length > 0)
| FilePath = infos[0].FullName;
| }
| }
|
| It actually works quite fast, so I'll settle on this for
| now. It appears that there's nothing I can do to get the
| FileSystemWatcher to return proper case names.
|
| I've also found that this "all lower case" approach is
| used by quite a lot of .NET class libraries, such as
| Assembly.GetLocation and
| AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FriendlyName. Guess that's the
| design decision taken by the .NET team...
