If you create a file name with only capital letters, I believe Explorer and the file browser will display the name with an initial capital, and the rest lowercase, or in all lowercase. IIRC, this is because such a file is saved with only an MS-DOS name and no LFN entry, and those have special rules to avoid them being displayed in all-uppercase.

I believe it is possible to create a LFN entry for such a file, but I can't remember right now how to do it.
