Filename append with number on copy to same folder?

I rebuilt my system and lost one functionality. When I copy a file, say a "Text.txt", 
using Explorer to the same folder, I get a new file named "Text - Copy.txt." Before 
I rebuilt, I would get "Text_2.txt." If I pasted again, I used to get "Text_3.txt."

I checked another Windows 7 system and it works like mine used to, i.e. appends a 
version number to the filename when copied to same folder instead of appending " 
- copy."

System: HP Compaq 6910P laptop
Memory: 2GB
CPU: Intel T8300
OS: Windows 7 Professional 32 bit
All drivers and enhancements loaded from HP's site (same as before)
Member of domain, I have local admin privileges but not domain admin and some settings 
are controlled via the domain admin.

The other system that works like mine used is a:
System: Toshiba L505D-S694
Memory: 2GB
OS: Toshiba Windows 7 Home Premium 32 (upgrade from Vista 32)
Non-domain machine

Any ideas how to change this setting to get my version numbers back?
