fly2279 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I am trying to specify the install location of the 'Windows' folder. In my winnt.sif I have TargetPath=\WindowsWhen windows installs, I get 'WINDOWS' as a folder.Does it always make all letters upper case? I haven't tried another name with some lower case to see if it changes all letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Symbiosis Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 It's a little around the corner, but since XP doesn't care about capital letter or not in names of files and folders, you could rename the folder in a batch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Any folder created during Windows setup will come out all upper-case letters (it's a holdover from the NT4 days, IIRC). The previous poster is correct, however, in that you can rename the folder in a batch and things will work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoardBabe Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I doubt you can rename the %WinDir% after installation though?To get smallcaps wouldn't you have to rename it to something ELSE than "WINDOWS" for then again rename it to "Windows"? I doubt the system would allow you to rename "WINDOWS"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keytotime Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Not meaning to sound mean, but what is the significance of Windows vs WINDOWS ? They both mean the same thing in Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly2279 Posted November 15, 2005 Author Share Posted November 15, 2005 So....how do you get a batch file to rename windows upon restart. I remember seeing something about that somewhere but I can't find it. Obviously you can't rename the windows folder just by using the ren command.

oioldman Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 why rename it, just set the TargetPath= in winnt.sif to be what you want windows folder to be called? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedox Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 If you read the topic you'd see what i'm trying to do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcemanND Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I read the topic, and don't see the point in this 98% case insensitive. But boot to a WinPE/BarPE disk and change the folder name. As a previous post said you will need to rename to something else before renaming to the proper case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
