It definitely made life easier when trying to sync with my Panasonic camcorder. This worked for me. It definitely made life easier when trying to sync with my Panasonic camcorder.

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. Santimonious Ape, I accidentally deleted the second comment of you belonging in this thread.

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.
