Sort Issue: "mixing" files and sub-folders (WXP-Pro)

[davidb252]

Hello,

Is there a way to make Windows XP treat files and folders the same way
when sorting them in view?

Today, when you have a folder which contains both files and
sub-folders, Windows XP firsts sorts all the folders and then sorts all
the files. I want them both files and sub-folders to be "mixed"
together and sorted only according to their names.

Current situation:
AAA [folder]
CCC [folder]
BBB [file]
DDD [file]
EEE [file]

Desirable situation:
AAA [folder]
BBB [file]
CCC [folder]
DDD [file]
EEE [file]

Thanks,
Dave.

If there is such a way I haven't found it in the nearly 5 years WinXP has been out or in the 11 years following the advent of Win95 or in MS-DOS with Win3.1 before that.

You can move the Folders and icons around in the Start, All Programs menu but that really doesn't accomplish what you are asking.
