For some reason I can't start a new thread so I am replying to this one.
The reason you're having such problems is that you are using the web
interface to read this newsgroup--it's the slowest, clunkiest, most
error-prone method there is. Do yourself a favor and switch to a
newsreader, such as Windows Mail, which comes with Windows. See
http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/outlookexpressnewreader.htm That's
about Outlook Express, but it's essentially the same in Windows Mail.
Here is my problem:
I have 2 files in different folders that have the same name, and I want to
paste both those files with the same name into a new folder. However, it
won't let me copy both into a new folder because the 2nd one will always ask
to "replace the existing file with the same name" which was the first one.
Is there a way to turn this setting off so I can paste both,
No, you can never have two files with the same name in a single
folder. If you did, Windows would have no way to tell the two apart.
or is there a
way to add an extension to the 2nd file so its not the same name?
Sure, just tell it not replace the file and it will give it a name
with a (2) at the end of it. You can either leave it that way, or
right-click and rename it to anything you prefer.
