    App to convert lower case to upper case

    Hello,

    I have the need to convert lower case folder names to upper case in Windows 10 File Explorer on a Surface Pro 3. I found a few on line. Does anyone have experience with a free one that you would recommend? Thanks!

    App to convert lower case to upper case

    Hi Brad,

    Thank you for your response.

    I decided to answer your question before testing the apps that you kindly offered.

    I have an album music collection and wish to convert some of the album titles from a mix of upper and lower case letters to all upper case. There are about 200 album titles that I wish to convert out of a larger group of albums. These albums are scattered
    about in File Explorer. I wish to do this so I can quickly find certain albums.

    I am not familiar with Powershell or scripting.

    thank you,

    Jim

    Windows Explorer - upper/lower case directory naming

    Hi,

    Windows itself distinguish upper/low case. But any program may tell Windows the exact path it want be installed to.

    If some program will point to "program files" Windows will create this folder. Please check the names of programs installed to "program files" and ask their support for details.
