Create new BINARY value: NoStrCmpLogical and set data to : "01 00 00 00"

If you check this box, Explorer will sort so that, e.g. "File 5" comes before
"File 10" because 5 comes before 10. If you uncheck this box, then explorer
will use literal sorting, in which case "File 10" will come before "File 5" because
1 comes before 5.
Good Luck, Ayush.
Surprising as it may seem, the version of Windows Explorer I have seems to
have a fundamental bug. It does not fully sort names correctly. I am using
Windows Xp Home Vers 5.1 build 2600.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158
I have a directory with 5248 files and 179 directories. Among these, if sort
by name, I get the ordering
..
SHOG_B8N.ZIP
SHOG_B9L.ZIP
SHOG_B60.ZIP
..
Testing this with 2 other 3rd party directory utilities (including one
commercial product I authored) shows no problem.
