You can use the API or Scripting.FileSystemObject COM Object's File Object properties to determine creation, last modification, and last reference times; you can't count on the order of occurance in the folder to indicate age, since in FAT there is reuse of deleted file entries, and in NTFS, the content of the folder index is hashed.

Windows doesn't support it, so it's a matter of when they change the rules for Windows. As long as they support DOS/Win16/Win32 type file systems, they have to treat file names as case insensitive. AFA when Fox might return them in their stored case, ask one of the development team members; the Scripting.FileSystemObject already does.

I'd be more concerned about when they're going to support DBCS and UniCode-encoded filenames.
