This has nothing to do with Cygwin. You are (still[1]) confusing Cygwin
and your shell. You would hugely benefit from gaining some basic
knowledge about the tools you've been using since 1979.
Your transcript was done in a shell called "bash". Globbing in bash is -
by default - case sensitive. If you want to change that, read the man
page and then set option "nocaseglob" ("shopt -s nocaseglob").
