Case-insensitivity with NTFS drives in your file browser.

Thanks guys. Sorry it didn't occur to me to check the man pages!

So if I guess correctly, I have to use the "windows_names" option when mounting an NTFS hard drive, right?
If that is true, then I guess I have to figure out where to modify my file browser (nautilus-elementary in Gnome) so that it uses this extra parameter when I mount an NTFS disk through the file browser's GUI.
Any idea where to do that?

I'm also trying to figure out exactly how to make Windows 7 case-sensitive when it reads/writes to the C drive or any other NTFS drive. If I can get that working, I think I'd rather do that than use the "windows_names" option with ntfs-3g. I started a question on superuser.com about how to make this modification to Windows.
