PC Server's Name Starts Lower-Case in Sidebar

[clayj]

OK, some of you may think this is silly and trivial, but I am one of those perfectionists who likes for things to be "just so". Here's my problem: When I open the Finder and look at the "SHARED" section in the Sidebar, I see the following:

Dynamic
Idyllic
logic
Xenophobic

"logic" is a PC Server (specifically, a Windows 2003 SBS Server with Exchange 2003) on my network. My question is simple: How to get this item to show as "Logic", with a capital "L"? It bugs me that "logic" starts with a lower-case "l".

Thanks for any solutions!

To be honest I thought all SMB servers would show as all lowercase when you connected because that is just how SMB is. Maybe that doesn't make sense but I thought that was simply the case. I presume you tried to omit the name and re-type it once finder asks you for it?

Well, I can't find any documentation that says Windows machines will always show up with their names all in lower-case. And I never actually had to type it in; all of the machines are in the same workgroup, so the Windows server just shows up in the Finder all by itself.

check the full computer name in System Properties on the PC. you may have typed "logic".

No, I think it just does that. It does that on the network I help manage at my church. "Display" shows as "display" and so on... Panther showed them as all capitals, Tiger with title case, and Leopard all lowers... with all three, however, they ignore the naming conventions of the computer itself...

Yeah, the first thing I did on the PC was to make sure the name was "Logic" with a capital "L".

Just checking to see if anyone ever figured out a way to do this...
