Show us the script you're using to get 1.file ... 9.file 10.file... and we'll show you how to simply modify it to produce numbers with a specified number of digits with leading zeros. Note that something like:

printf '%04d.file' $number

is likely to be at the heart of it (for four digit sequence numbers).
