Sort by name doesnt sort correctly in my opinion
Hi, Douglas.
You might be interested in this page by MVP Ramesh: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/xpsortorder.htm And in this KB article: The sort order for files and folders whose names contain numerals is different in Windows XP than it is in Windows 2000 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319827/ RC -- R. C. White, CPA San Marcos, TX Microsoft Windows MVP (Running Windows Live Mail beta in Vista Ultimate x64) "douglasgblake" wrote in message ... Explorer does not seem to sort files by name in the order I expect. e.g. 0x2A.txt 0x20.txt 0xA2.txt is the order shown but I expected item 1 to be after item 2. Doug Blake

R.C.
Is there similiar solution for Vista? The problem is the same in Vista but the registry solutions mentioned by MVP Ramesh and the KB article do not apply. "R. C. White" wrote: Hi, Douglas.

Works fine here, mykee. Important thing is that you need to create the value under HKEY_CURRENT_USER, and not under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE area.

Finally some results.
In XP, the registry looked like what the article had shown but in my version of Vista the keys under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\....\POLICY did not show \EXPLORER. After creating the key "explorer" and then creating the DWORD value, everything works fine. Thank you. "Ramesh, MS-MVP" wrote: Works fine here, mykee.
