Remove confirmations for move/copy

Hello,

Is it possible to stop Windows Explorer from constantly throwing up
confirmation dialogs when moving/copying files? I'm becoming increasingly
sick of setting a batch of files copying, leaving my PC to it, coming back 10
minutes later only to find that it's copied 10 files and is now stuck with a
"thumbs.db is a system file. Are you sure?" dialog. Followed by a "xxx is an
executable. Sure?" and "yyy is read only. Sure?". You get the idea!

Ultimately, I'd like it just to move/copy everything regardless of whether
the files are read only, system files, executables, etc. I've had a good look
around the knowledge base, but haven't found anything. And I'd rather not
have to drop to a command prompt and XCopy every time I want some folders
shifting around.

Thanks in advance!

Dave.

Any ideas guys? :-(

Saw this on a site once and had saved it for later. Not sure if it will
work, I use a program for file recovery and it takes over the recycle bin so
I couldn't try it but,
1. Right-click Recycle Bin and select Properties from the drop down menu
2. Under the Global tab uncheck where it says Display delete confirmation
dialog

3. Click OK, you will never have to confirm a deletion again!
