583592 2007-08-21 22:58:00 When I copy files from one folder to another which already contains files that are the same, the dialogue box asks "confirm file replace". The options given are Yes, Yes to all, No and Cancel.

Is there a way to add a No To All rather than clicking No until the folder is updated?

Thanks

Windows won't let you do this by default, I'd recommend using a 3rd party app such as Total Commander (www.ghisler.com) if you have a lot of files to copy in that manner.

583595 2007-08-23 07:14:00 it's not that windows can't do it
it's that window is stupid and don't let you EASILY do it

when you press the "No" button
hold down shift (so shift+click)
this is the same as "No to All" which isn't in the gui for some strange reason
