HELP needed.... need to change lower to uppercase

[bubbadu]

I am trying to get some java to compile, but since I named the folder lowercase, and it needs to be uppercase, it will not work. I know this is a super simple fix, but I forgot what the professer said to fix it. If anyone can help, THANKS!

What folder? What in the world are you talking about?

 

[bubbadu]

I made a folder called "hw3", once its named lowercase h, you can not change it back. I need it to be named "Hw3". I know this is a windows bug, and theres a fix, but cant remember how to fix it. Hopefully this will clear it up.

Can't you rename it "hw3a" then "Hw3"?

 

[bubbadu]

Nope doesnt work, just tried it. Once the intial lowercase h is entered, no matter what you do, it wont change back.

What OS are you using? This works fine on my XP machine.

Your windows is fvcking broken, it works fine on my win2k here at work.

In any case, rename it "bunch of crap" make a new folder called "Hw3" and copy all the files across.

Do that.

Folder in use? File in folder in use? Simple renaming should work.

I recall a "Allow all uppercase filenames" option in Tools->Folder Options->View.
