Nope. This doesn't make any sense and "a lot of files" is not a criteria
being available as an option.

if there is an option when copying a lot of files
to say NO TO ALL.

Yes don`t copy them in the first place.

You cannot do it in a GUI environment but you could
certainly do it with a batch file.

HI,
Sorry I tried to make my message as short as possible and made it too
short... what I meant to say is... When copying a folder to another folder
with the same name and most of the files are identical it says it will
replace the 1's with the same name and do I still wish to copy or move the
folder and files.. there are 4 option tabs [yes] [yes to all] [no] and
[cancel]... is there a way I can get an option that says [no to all]..... as
I only want to copy the new files within this folder to a storage drive with
the same folder and files.
Aploogies for not explaining myself properly...Can you help
Thankyou
Mark

Use the [x]copy command from within a DOS shell. Run "[x]copy /?" to
see the options, like the /Y switch.

You could delete/rename the target folder and then copy the source
folder under the name of the old target folder.

You could use Microsoft's SyncToy utility, especially if you need to
resync them again later.

just hold down ctrl key, click on or off selected files, then drag n drop.

Does the surmised dialog-window not have a [Cancel]-button?
