Error How to make "tab" key in mksnt tool kit case sensitive?

I am using MKS Toolkit on windows7, i observed that when i use "tab" key to complete a file/dir name converts into lower case.

Eg:

I am having a directory named "Dir1", note "D" is in caps. In unix if i had tried pressing "d" and "<tab>" resulted in no result. However in mksnt toolkit, it lowers the case and allow me to enter "Dir1". I want to restrict it and want to have exact unix behavior.

Is it possible using Mks toolkit?

Thanks

As far as i know it is not possible, but i could be mistaken. The reason is that the underlying file system is not really case sensitive and probably some obscure parts of Windows aren't either. As MKS uses regular Windows facilities i suspect that to be the culprit.

Have you considered ditching MKS and using VMWare, OpenBox or something such to get a virtual machine with a real Linux/Unix instead? It is possible to share a folder between the host and guest OS, so data transfer is not all too complicated.

I hope this helps.
