Hi,
I have xp pro sp2 and I would like to order files with numeric names like it
did in other versions of windows using explorer.
Example:
in windows 2000 the file 121.txt is shown first in explorer than the file
13.txt when I order it by name.
In wxp sp2 the file 13.txt is shown first than the file 121.txt.
I suppose that it is in that way because when xp order the files takes in
consideration that the number 13 is lower than the number 121.

Is there any way of dissability that functionatilly in windows xp and order
files like in w2000 or w98.

Thanks in advance.
 
Use TweakUI

TweakUI
[+] Explorer
Use intuitive filename sorting

[[If this is checked the Explorer will sort files so that, for e.g. “File 5”
comes before “File 10” because 5 comes before 10. If this is unchecked then
Explorer will use literal sorting, in which case “File 10” will come before
“File 5” because 1 comes before 5. ]]

The Sort Order for Files and Folders Whose Names Contain Numerals Is
Different in Windows XP Than It Is in Windows 2000

Windows Explorer Incorrectly Sorts Files and Folders with 10 or
More Consecutive Numerals
