This is one of those stupid things that Microsoft does differently
than anyone else - assuming that 'A' is the same as 'a', when
obviously it's not. Out here in the real world, things are always CaSe
SeNsItIvE.
I don't think there's a way to fix it, unless you want to make an
alias with the all-caps version and link it to the real version. It
would really be better though, to advise your users that they should
use the real name of the folder; if you make an alias you're just
giving them a crutch and encouraging them to continue expecting things
to work when they make a blatant mistake.  ;)

In whatever folder you want it to affect. For the entire site to be
affected, put it in /web. If you want, for example, just /web/images
to be affected, then stick it in /web/images.
