Change GAC display in Windows Explorer.

I've been learning more about the GAC from a fellow developer and I've noticed that our GACs (located at C:/Windows/assembly) seem to be setup differently. One is organized by AssemblyName where you can clearly see the version, Public Key Token, etc. (there aren't any folders). The other, is organized in a folder/file structure - C:/Windows/assembly contains folders for GAC, GAC_32, GAC_64, GAC_MSIL, NativeImages (4 folders with different versions), temp, and tmp.

My machine has the folder/file structure. Is it possible to change this to match the pure file structure so I can easily view the version, token, and other properties?

I've done the registry one a couple of times.
