Network view prepends comments

One of my biggest gripes about XP is that, when exploring
the domain network computers, XP puts the comment in
front of the name in the name field. This screws up the
view badly. Comments are shown after the name by default
anyway, so sticking it in front of the name is redundant.
I don't know what they were smoking when they changed to
this mess.
So Windows 2000 sees this:
Computer1 John Doe, x2222

XP shows this:
John Doe, x2222(Computer1) John Doe, x2222

Does anyone know how to set this view back the the good
way Windows 2000 used to display it?

I thought it was just me, but all the aother techs here
have chimed in that they hate this mess too.
 
Not sure but I have a similer problem with server comments being put in to
network drives.

Cant find a way off turning this off :(
