Regarding case changes of filenames. What version of windows are you
using when the filenames change case? What filesystem is on the thumb
drive?
I use Win98 and Win XP. Both read the thumb drive, and I never
changed the format of the thumb. Not sure what OS one would say is on
the thumb drive though.
Win98 will sometimes change filenames but NT/2k(3)/XP should not. If
it is the latter, I would suggest that it is an application that
modifies the filename, not the OS. Windows 98 however, does like to
change filenames (FILE.TXT becomes File.txt). There is a checkbox in
Explorer->View->Allow All Uppercase file names.
I think it's a mixture, but yes, I'm sure an app is to blame
sometimes. I don't know what on earth is case-changing directory
names though; that's sure inconvenient when the host OS for the repo
is a Unix variant...
