How to disable MySQL case sensitive with table names in queries

My latest install of MySQL 5.16 on Windows 7 is case sensitive with table names. I much prefer it's case in-sensitive for faster typing and adhoc queries. To do that, I need to edit the my.cnf file (Try running "mysql --help" and it will tell you where it is.)

At the end of the file, add this line:

lower_case_table_names = 1
