Copying Files with No Overwriting

I would like to use the standard Windows Explorer to copy a large group of
files from one directory to another.

There are some duplicates in the destination directory that I don't want to
overwrite.

This causes the question: "Would you like to replace the existing file...?
to pop up for EACH duplicate file.

How can I get it to default to NO for the answer to the above question so I
don't have to answer it many times to copy over a large number of files?

Will I be better off using a copy command in the terminal prompt window?
 
Unless you are provided with a "No to all' option you
will have to answer no to each one. You would get the
same result using a command prompt.
