dasced Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 The folder 'Program Files' and everything under it is in lowercase (program files) after installing nlited winxp in virtualbox. Why? Is there a way to make nlite (or virtualbox) respect original capitalization? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Is this in Explorer?Check if you have a setting in the Registry for "beautifying filenames", actually "DontPrettyPath":http://ss64.com/nt/syntax-reghacks.htmljaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasced Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 The DontPrettyPath is set to 0 and it wouldn't convert 'Program Files' to 'program files' anyway, would it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Cannot say, from the good ol' times I have always had it to "1". Check in a command prompt, if also in there something like a DIR C:\P* also gives them in lower case, it should mean that the folder(s) are actually named that way. Of course Virtualbox is "innocent" in that, but it is well possible that some settings in nlite creates that, cannot really say jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponch Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Please attach (not paste) your last session.ini file and state what's physically written on your original CD. And please don't swear. Edited March 26, 2014 by Ponch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasced Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Everything under 'Program Files' is filed in the file system in lowercase, it is 'program files' in DIR console output or Windows Explorer properties window.Nobody gives a d**n about it or am I the only one with the issue?Ponch: I will have to repeat the process to reproduce last session.ini. My original CD is retail Windows XP Pro SP1 and the only thing I did was adding SP3, if that's your question.

bphlpt Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Nobody gives a d**n about it or am I the only one with the issue?I've not seen this situation before, especially if, as you imply, that it is only for the 'Program Files' directory. And from the responses so far, it seems no one else is familiar with it either. It seems extremely likely that it was something you did. So without seeing your last session.ini file we don't have any way to even try to guess what caused it.Cheers and Regards Edited March 27, 2014 by bphlpt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasced Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 I found the cause. I lied I only included SP3. I removed all the useless componenets causing installer not to create 'Program Files' folder at all. However, winxp miraculously creates 'program files' folder populating it with a collection of empty folders, all in lowercase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
