@Dallas – I’m not sure if you are doing it wrong, have a bad version of Windows, or have software that over-rides hotkeys (or somehow otherwise shut off hotkeys), but it works fine for me in Windows XP SP2.

Unfortunately, it will also say “no” to any folders you are copying, which would be great except I’d like to transfer new and/or non-duplicate files into those sub-folders at the same time.

Does Windows have any procedure for this type of transfer?

It does not work. I pressed and held Shift and clicked No but it still prompted me on the next file and all the files after that.

Wow, I wish I knew this one years ago, it would have saved me a lot of pain (aka “wasted time”). Well, it’ll certainly save me from future pain related to this.

Thanks, mate

Thanks a million. Have been frustrated by this shortcoming for years! Never thought to query it till now. Very glad I did. Can’t believe it’s so easy.

Nice; but what if “Yes to all” is missing!?

(problem: Copy one file in hundreds of (sub)folders and overwrite without asking)

Thanks

Just used a tip for NO to ALL when copying in Windows XP… very helpful…. had mutiple files from a camera (talking 1000s of pictures) and of course it kept using the same naming convention when uploading… example picture001, picture002, etc… nevertheless this tip help me get them consolidated into mutiple batches so my wife can get printed. Thanks!!! Steve
