windows explorer filename sort order question

Windows XP explorer shows 4 files sorted by name as such:

apple.dbf
test04.dbf
test031012.dbf
zebra.dbf

The 2 'test' files are sorted differently on Windows 2000 and earlier
machines:

apple.dbf
test031012.dbf
test04.dbf
zebra.dbf

How can I make XP use the older sort method?
