In our previous article, we saw how to use the built-in feature of Windows 10 which allows enabling case sensitive mode for folders. To save your time, you might want to add a special context menu to your folders in order to enable or disable case sensitivity directly without opening a new command prompt window. This is really useful, especially for WSL users.

Enable Case Sensitive Mode for Folders in Windows 10
As you may already know, the Windows file system, NTFS, treats file and folder names as case insensitive. For example, for the OS and apps, MyFile.txt and myfile.txt are the same file.

To resolve them, Windows 10 includes the ability to enable case sensitive mode for folders.
