Mostly uppercase filenames in Win98SE?
« on: July 18, 2005, 06:42:09 am »
I use a USB flashdrive to work on files in Win2K and Win98SE (different computers).  On the Win2K machine, most filenames are lowercase, but when I read the drive in 98SE, about 80% of the files and folder names have converted to Uppercase.

Is there a fix to keep them lowercase on 98se?

TIA.

Found a probable answer:

It looks like the solution is to re-name the files under Win98.  But the problem is if you authored the files under Win2K and posted them to the web without saving them in Win98, they might not be visible under Win98 systems, or imbedded links might not work . . .
