2000 does not append duplicate file names

While using NT, when I copied a file to my desktop that
had the same name as a file already there, NT would
automatically append the file name. For instance, if there
is a file names TEST.TXT on the desktop and I copy another
file there with the same name, NT would change that file
name to TEST(2).TXT.

I cannot get 2000 to do this... is there a way? I work
with duplicate file names all of the time and this would
save a lot of hassle.
