Thank You again Ramesh. I'm use to the 2000 sort order and by following the
instructions in the link you gave, I changed XP default to the 2000 sort
order.
I have a digital piano that creates digital files which assigns the first
two digits of the filename, 01 to 20. It uses dos 8 character filename so
that leaves me with 6 characters to name the files. After saving the files
on a floppy disk, I can view the filenames on the digital piano. Example
"A" is what the sort order looks like on the digital piano. However when I
take the floppy disk and view these in XP it looks like Example "B".
