    I know that I am a nerd, but I still have to ask this question.

    When I explore C: drive, why I saw some files are like this:
    xxxxx.dll

    and like this:
    XXXX.SYS

    What is the difference between small letters and capital letters files extension??
    Is it normal to have these things appeared in my computer???

    None in Windows but it matters in Linux/UNIX.

    rsinfo answered your question perfectly - there is no difference and it is normal, especially with older software.
