Right. The second column is the short (a.k.a. "DOS", a.k.a. "8+3") file
name that is invented automatically by the filesystem each time it
creates a file. You cannot influence the way the 8+3 names are produced
(with the exception of a registry setting that controls ~NN numeric
tails), and in particular you cannot prevent Windows from upcasing the
8+3 name, since that name is for compatibility with DOS, and DOS always
records file names in the directory in UPPER case.
