     CMD also has case-insensitive filename completion.  I believe it's 
undocumented, although this may have changed. . .  Here's what you need 
in your registry (under HKEY_CURRENT_USER) to turn it on:

       Key Name:          Software\Microsoft\Command Processor
         Name:            CompletionChar
         Type:            REG_SZ
         Data:            9

(grepping the web for CompletionChar may turn up more info).
