My vague recollection is that Windows has a mechanism to maintain the case of an existing file name. Many apps save a file (say my.txt) by writing to my.tmp (for example), then deleting my.txt, then renaming my.tmp to my.txt. I think the file system caches file names for a short period (even after deletion), so an attempt to write a file with a name that is different only in case (say My.txt) will end up with the file keeping the original name. You would possible see this with a "save as" to a name that is different only in case. However, I think the renaming mechanisms (command prompt, Explorer, API) have always just renamed exactly as requested.
