when I try to use uppercase filenames explorer in most cases converts
them to lowercase except the first character. only in some rare cases
uppercase names are not changed by the explorer. I couldnt find a
registry setting to prevent filename conversion.

If the filename is just one word, it will convert it to lowercase, but
retaining uppercase for the first letter.

If the filename has two words (eg. 'MY FOLDER') then it will retain
uppercase throughout.

Explorer isn't really changing the filename, it is only displaying it
differently. You can drop to a command shell to verify this.
NTFS is case-aware, but not case-sensitive, meaning that it will hold the
case you give it, but FOO.TXT and foo.txt are the same file (unlike a
case-sensitive filesystem).
