You can use a FOR /F to echo or fetch the case corrected filename

for /F "delims=" %%X in ("c:\windows\system32\display.dll") do echo %%~fX

The case of the drive letter seems to be undetermined.
It can be upper or lower case for the same drive.
I tested it with

c:\> pushd C:\
C:\> popd
c:\> pushd c:\
c:\>

So you can simply force the drive letter to be always in lower case.
