WinME - how to turn off uppercase filenames?

Dunno why but it's always annoyed me the way WinME displays filenames in uppercase.

I don't use ME myself but lately I've restored a few Compaq and HP systems using their Recovery discs, and, of course, the default setting is for uppercase filenames.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Cheers.

 

Thanks for your input, folks. It would seem that it's not possible to turn off this screwball billgates setting.

No probs - I'll obviously have to ignore this annoyance.

Cheers.

 

Yeah i no Bill Gates need to try his software and see hoe bad it really is

Here is a true story that happened to me six years ago

One time i was at a store in the mall six years ago

selling windows me first time and also selling windows 2000

so i looked at it and a guy told me about the camera they had to show me

a web camera

so he hooked it up and walked to some across from me the one i was on at the time was a windows me but he didn't know that

what does it do it starts beeping like crazy and gave me the bsod ( blue screen of death)

I was ******* so he comes over and another computer that was hooked up with a web cam the was windows 2000 i went over to and started using it

the guy who worked there came over and goes

" do you know how this happened"

he was ticked off so i go " "no i don't no i just started flipping out "

i was on 30 min and win 2000 worked like a charm

So it shows you if you have a choose of windows 2000 of windows me what you pick ME right but if you heard me story you would pick win 2000

if you had a choose between win 95 and win 98 in 1997 you would pick win 98 and some people would pick nt and some people would pick win 95

win 98 is the most popular brand of windows today but windows is probly the kind of computer the locks up the most of of any other computer

i have a 13 year old mac running like it is new

i no a person who has a ******* up windows xp computer that is one year old

Hope this is not to long,

Pcessna

Pcessna, I appreciate your response. But if you'd taken the time to read my earlier posts, you'd have seen that I DON'T use ME myself; I was simply asking if anyone had a solution to the ME uppercase filename syndrome.

For the record, it seems that it's NOT possible to fix this inherent ME bug.
