This only affects how the file names are displayed.

It does ignore case.

You can set `completion-ignore-case' to t, which will let tab
completion be case-insensitive. But I do not think there is a way to
make `expand-file-name' be case-insensitive, as that would cause
problems when two files with the same name but different case both
existed in the same directory.
