About this tag
The NoStrCmpLogical registry setting controls how Windows sorts numbers in file and folder names. In Windows XP and Vista, setting NoStrCmpLogical=1 under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer changed the sort order from logical (where numbers are sorted as numbers) to a strict string comparison.
