That's what I thought you were talking about. Can't help you on that one.
When I open meta pad on my computers, both Win7 64 and WinXP, it only shows
the file name, no path. Showing the path is an OS option in explorer. On
Win 7 it wouldn't show it with the aero theme but for me at least it doesn't
show it on Win Xp either.
Have you messed around with fonts by any chance?
I'll have to think on that one.

At the very top of it, the title bar (and possibly other
similar NotePad replacements), is the path to where the file
has been saved or kept. For example, (regarding my recent
posts on the BSOD and enabling the ntbtlog file); that file's
path is at "C:\WINDOWS\ntbtlog.txt", but when I open the file
the Metapad title bar shows "c:\WINDOWS\ntbtlog.txt". If I go
to "File" > "Save as...." it goes back to the uppercase drive
letter "C:\WINDOWS\ntbtlog.txt"! I close it then open again
it's back to "c:\WINDOWS\ntbtlog.txt". This happens with ALL
text files now regardless of where they are located.
It's really bugging me as to why or how this started happening.

Maybe it's too early ... but I don't understand what you are
saying. I even
downloaded Metapad and still don't know. Where is it that the
drive letters
have changed?

Does anyone have any idea what would make all of my drives'
letters from uppercase to lowercase when opening a text file??
Every time I open a text file, the prefix drive letter is now
lowercase. I find it most annoying, especially since I have no
idea why it would start doing this. I have done nothing to the
PC. It doesn't matter where the file is, C, D, or E, all
lowercase now.
I use Metapad for text files (Notepad doesn't show the path),
but Metapad requires NO installation and there are no settings
for this.
Thanks,
