I'm having difficulty creating folder names in all caps on my laptop at home. I know how to name a folder, and I've never had difficulty with all caps but now when I name a folder such as IMV when I finish naming it the folder changes names to Imv. Any ideas what is happening?


My laptop totally crashed this past year and I had to have it totally reloaded. It originally had Windows 2000 on it but it now has Windows 98. With 2000 I had no problem with the folder names. Is this something that Windows 98 has a conflict with?

I know, I know, I need a modern upgrade but this version was the only one a friend had for a complete install. And I know having a folder in all caps is a minor detail but what can I say, I know what I want!

We had a similar problem and it turned out there was a setting in the computer somewhere that autocorrected file names. But for the life of me I can't remember where it is. You might search for it.

Sorry I couldn't be more help George.

Ha! Got it!! View > Folder Options > View > Files & Folders - Allow all Upper Case

You rock Mx2. You got me pointed in the right direction although searching though the Help index was no help at all! lol

Hey, I'm just glad that teeny bit I remember of useful information helped somebody!
