Encountering extended characters

When connecting to a shared folder, Windows 95 converts the characters in the share name to uppercase. Some extended characters do not have uppercase equivalents in the U.S. version of Windows 95, and so do not match after Windows 95 converts the name.

Shared resource passwords are not case-sensitive in Windows 95. When a password is entered, Windows 95 converts the password to uppercase and then encrypts the password and compares it to the original password. Since some extended ASCII characters do not have uppercase equivalents on a computer running the U.S. version of Windows 95, the password does not match after it is converted to uppercase.
