I’m pretty sure it’s not HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, but HKEY_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Policies\Explorer

Martin says:

USER is for the single user while MACHINE is for all users

Benóný says:

ah, yes I see :)

Benóný says:

hmm.. still this isn’t working for me *-) I tried LOCAL_MACHINE ,CURRENT_USER and USER and once all at the same time and it still isn’t showing any difference *-)
btw, my pc sorts the 2000 way, maybe I XdN Tweaker or something like that is causing this.

I can see deleting my previous comment if I had somehow been offensive, but other than perhaps causing you some minor embarrassment I cannot see how the action was justified. My comment could have been very useful to Benóný above.

To Benóný: Martin likes to do things “The Hard Way” (TM), and so would rather go through the registry to adjust things. Granted, it is - as he has (sort of) stated elsewhere - a good way to get to learn how the system ticks, but many of us just want to fix the problem and move on. He apparently deleted a post I made here which pointed out a much simpler way to do it, but evidently he doesn’t care for freedom of speech or alternatives being provided to “His Way” (and all that implies).

If by some miracle he manages to get over himself enough to allow this post through, then allow me to point you to M$’ PowerToys collection, which includes the essential “TweakUI” program. TweakUI allows you to adjust the sort order by going to the “Explorer” section and toggling the “Use intuitive filename sorting” checkbox. Get TweakUI here:

Santimonious Ape, I accidentally deleted the second comment of you belonging in this thread. It was early in the morning and I thought it was a dupe of the comment in the other post.

I recognized later that it belonged to this one. Sorry for that but I had no way to recover it.

Please be careful with those accusations the next time.

Thx Sanctimonious Ape ;)
