Alpha Numerical arrangement in window

Window XP sorts files in an ascending order which have digits in their file name. Like document ‘ajay151.doc’ listed after ajay15.doc and ajay16.doc. But if you want to arrange them like this ajay15.doc, ajay151.doc, ajay16.doc, ajay161.doc then you has to set registry, after that OS will access all characters as alphabets.

(1). Open the Registry Editor and navigate the key.
“HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer”

(2). Create new entry “NoStrCmpLogical” using ‘Edit | New | DWORD value’.

(3). Then open it and set the value data ‘1’ in the “Edit DWORD value” Window and click OK.

(4). Next step you know….so do it. Restart your PC to see registry set effect.
