What is the setting for "Allow all uppercase names" when they show up
like that? That's exactly what they would look like in Explorer, if the
box is unchecked.

Hmm. It could only show up this way in Explorer, if they really were
spelt like that AND the "Allow all..." option is checked.

If you absolutely must use XP, best check for some weird setting in it
that could be respelling your file names. Does it have a "Folder
Options, View tab"? What are the options in there, then? Can it be XP
has one that really does respell a file name, instead of just changing
the way it displays in Explorer? And remember to put on your tinfoil hat
when sitting at an XP-machine! All of here do!

| Then I must make everything that I might be able to access in W98se
| *invisible* to XP ? (I'm always trying to avoid any *System* related
| things already). Do you mean that even looking at 98se data from XP
| can be bad ? (I'm not talking about running 98se programs within XP).
I haven't sat at an XP-machine long enough to know or for my earlobes to
turn purple & fall onto my toes! Are you sure you just look at them in
XP? Does it happen every time?
Another possible way file names could become all upper-case is to copy
them in True DOS. Do you ever Reboot in MS-DOS Mode & do things to the
files there?

That sounds like a big pain!
