Right. My point was that, on Windows, that's what the behavior should be. If you attempt a similar operation outside of CF, you'll get the same results - for example, if you copy one file over another from a command prompt, even if you specify the case of the file name in the copy operation that isn't preserved by Windows. And if you want to argue that the behavior should be something else, you'd have to take that up with Microsoft rather than Adobe, I guess.
