The standard is that if a filename is actually a DOS file name -- no more
than 8 contiguous characters, a period, and no more than a 3-letter
extension -- they are displayed in all caps. Otherwise, they are displayed
in the other form.
TweakUI has a setting to turn this on or off. I forget the location (and it
shows differently on the Windows 2000 computer I'm on at the moment). You
can get TweakUI 1.33, and an article explaining things to be mindful of when
using it in Win ME, here:

Yes, on a Unix server it is essential. But this case issue is only the way
Explorer is displaying them. If you make an 8-dot-3 filename in all lower
case and Explorer displays it in all caps, I don't think that alters it when
you upload it. (I could be wrong. I haven't tried it. Does your FTP program
show these to be correctly cased or incorrectly cased?)
