Has anyone run into a problem when arrange files in windows XP? Here's my problem and only happen on my windows xp station. I have some files in a folder let say the folder has the following files:

1----.prt
2----.prt
3----.prt
10000.cdk
10010.cdk
20001.cdk
20032.cdk
30010.prt
30020.prt
31000.prt

When I try to arrange them by name that's what I get. On my other station when I arrange by name it sort the files out and get the following:
1----.prt
10000.cdk
10010.cdk
2----.prt
20001.cdk
20032.cdk
3----.prt
30010.cdk
30020.cdk
31000.cdk

How/where do I change the setting so it sort the files accordingly?

Thanks ahead of time,

Wind

XPU,

Now there's a non-solution.

Wind, You didn't say what the other station is. If they are both Winders 9x ~ XP it may be 'regional' or 'language' settings.

If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

My bad - you're correct. I tried it and it didn't show it the way the OP wanted. What's the solution?

Sorry for the confusion, my windows xp is the one that doesn't arrange the item in a folder. The one that arrange is a Windows 2000. I heard rumor that in windows xp internet exporer has something to do with the way the item get arrange, needless to say I have found nothing.
