The all caps in the menus for VS2012 is highly annoying, is there a setting somewhere in the IDE or elsewhere to turn it off?

There is also another way to do this, create the following registry key and set its value:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\General\SuppressUppercaseConversion
REG_DWORD value: 1

    I'm not sure this is correct Ajay - VS2012 does seem to store it's settings in the registry location mentioned above (it worked for me anyway)

You can also run this in the Power Shell

Set-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\General -Name SuppressUppercaseConversion -Type DWord -Value 1

Yes; search NuGet (yes, NuGet) for VS2012 Caps.

An easy way (IMO) to achieve the registry key suggested by David would be entering it through a registry-file. This can be done by saving the code underneath to a .reg-file (e.g. VS2012_MenuCasing.reg) and double-clicking it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\General\]
"SuppressUppercaseConversion"=dword:00000001

I hope it saves somebody some time...
