Start -> Settings -> Folder Options ... -> View
then check "Allow all uppercase names". You'll probably be sorry you did
this, though (it makes stuff considerably harder to read, IMO). Note that
this has no effect on the filename actually stored, it only affects how
ALLCAPS names get *displayed*, and even so just how Explorer displays them.
As long as you're there, check "Display the full path in title bar", uncheck
"Hide file extensions for known file types" and select "Show all files"
under "Hidden files" (some of these are named a little differently under
different flavors of Windows). The default settings are optimized for end
users, not developers. And like it or not, they probably picked the best
default values for end users in all respects.
