Is there an option or tool that will allow me to change the default naming convention for files copied into the same directory in Windows (XP) and above.

e.g. from: Copy of {name}.{ext} to: {name}.{ext}.copy

Currently:

original_file.php
Copy of original_file.php

Desired:

original_file.php
original_file.php.copy

This would make finding/working with duplicated files much easier (they auto-sort together) and the filetype (by extension) changes thus it can't accidentally "break" something (e.g. if it were a *.java file, upon compiling I would get errors)
