I have a program that copies a file created in upper case to another folder in NT. The problem I have is that the case is not preserved when I copy the file to its destination.

For example, if the file is created as FILENAME.TXT, at the destination it appears in windows explorer as Filename.txt

Is there anyway I can preserve the case of the file via programming. I have seen MS Knowledge Base Article - 130598, but the method shown there will not be helpful in my program.

I will like to know if converting Filename.txt to FILENAME.TXT will make any difference when viewed from Explorer or whether the case will be preserved, if the file is copied onto another medium like a floppy disc.

Thanks
Milton
