    I'm having a few problems with shared folders and case sensitivity..

    fyi, i have Z: mapped to \\.psf\brandon, in parallels, the shared dir is /Users/brandon

    1. if i go to start->run, and then type z:\desktop, it fails, however z:\Desktop works.
    2. if i map y: to /Users/brandon via osx's SMB support, z:\desktop opens as one would expect.
    3. if i save a file, and manually type out the name and the case doesn't match perfectly, it will ask me to overwrite the file (????). This is good, however given #1, it doesn't make sense.

    it would appear that case is only respected on a file open operation. Windows is inherently case insensitive and it would be fantastic if shared folders worked the same way SMB folders did and were case insensitive as well.
