If I'm copying a large directory and have to stop midway through,
restarting is kinda a pain. I can either overwrite everything or I
can manually click 'No - do not overwrite' for each and every item.
Maybe there's a command line option that'd make this easier?

I personally like robocopy from the resource kit (download from MS ....)

robocopy c:\blah d:\blah /e /r:1 /w:1

(robocopy /??? will give you all the parameters)
