Explorer not sorting correctly
I'm using XP Explorer to look at a folder containing the
source code for several thousand C business functions. When I click on the Name column to sort the directory in ascending order, the display is not in ascending order. I'm not sure what order it's in. The same directory viewed in Win 2000 Explorer sorts correctly. How do I correct this XP phenomenon? |

However, it had a bug prior to SP1: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;318872 Post SP1: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;319827 This KB article includes the reg string for per user rather than global as below. If you want to revert to preXP sorting, paste the following into Notepad, save with a name of your choice then change the extension to reg. Right click then Merge: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entversion\Policies\E xplorer\] "NoStrCmpLogical"=dword:00000001 |
