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

The following is a link to an Windows Explorer sort order regedit fix so
directories sort like they did in Windows 2000.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=319827

win 2000 sorted a directory list in the the following manner:
3010-0010
3010-001a
3010-001b
3010-0020
3010-002a
xp & win 2003 server
3010-001a
3010-001b
3010-002a
3010-0010
3010-0020

I used to use these to alert users from moving folders accidentally.
Windows would prompt the users "Are you sure you want to move this read
only folder? - yes/no". This mode has not been moved forward into xp or
win 2003 server.

I've found a post that says "This behavior is by design"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326549/en-us
(its' also a change from the past)

Is there a regedit to make the system behave like it used to.
Thanks
