    In Windows XP explorer when you have a folder full of folders (and the names of the folders are numbers) the numerical order is different than Windows 98 & 95. In XP it ignores any zeros that are before a number (e.g. 00158 is sorted as if it were 158). Also it ignores any numbers after a dash. I want it to sort the folders the same way it sorts them in Win95 & 98. But how?????????????

    Example:

    Windows 98 way of sorting:
    001400
    0014-02
    00150-1
    0110
    12-00
    1201
    1501
    15-02
    150-3

    Windows XP way of sorting (same list):
    12-00
    0014-02
    15-02
    0110
    00150-1
    150-3
    1201
    001400
    1501
