WinME - In Explorer why are all the filenames in UPPERCASE?

[Shagga]

Annoying me this now. Is there a setting somewhere to change this ?

Thanks anyone.

Found this:
After installing Windows Me a number of my files have been changed to capital letters

Symptom: Installing Windows Me causes some file names like system files and HTML files to change their names into capital letters

Reply: Despite the fact that this bug can cause problem with programs like FrontPage webs, Microsoft has now stated to us that this is actually by design. In our mind if that is the case, then it is a really stupid one. Many people like to keep all of their files in lowercase (The majority) and do not want an operating system to start changing the way things were. Currently we are led to believe that this only happens in certain folders like /windows.

Fix: There is currently no fix available.

Funny . . I just installed ME on two systems, and that has not happened. My lowercase file names are still lower case.

If I found them changed, I would globally change them back using ZTree.

Thanks CRV I appreciate it. They have to keep messing don't they. If it ain't broke DON'T fix it. Someone wants to let Microsoft know that. Dip Sh!ts. :frown:

Actually my ME installation had all the names in lowercase.... I have found an option to change it to uppercase (there is a similer option in Win98 - saw it MANY times) - the strange thing is that I can't find the damm option again! (somewhere in the folder options - it has disappeared...REALLY...WIERD).

Please find it again

TechMaster - Your mission, should you choose to accept it is to delve deep into the depths of your WinME OS and find the setting to change the Character Case back to normality. This message will destruct in..........

So, there you go. Not chicken r ya?
