XP-style copying warning

[Jon]

In Windows Explorer, if you try to copy a file to another drive and the file already exists on that
drive, you get a confirmation box giving options (something like Copy, Overwrite, Cancel). In XP,
the confirmation box is different any has more details on file sizes and dates. Is there a way to
get the extra details in the box in Vista?

Actually, I think you have that backwards. The File replace dialogs in
Vista are by default more detailed than those of XP.

The screenshot I've attached shows the standard File Replace dialog in
Windows Vista. No special tweaking or hacks are required to get it:

Yeah, the file replacement in Vista is just one of the numerous nice
little tid bits goodies included with Vista that makes it so much more
than XP.

The Vista confirmation box took me a while to get used to; it seems
almost counter-inutitive, although that might just be because my brain
is trained with the old box. I certainly wish it would be a little
less subtle in indicating which was Source and Destination. I find
myself reading twice each time.

Other than the fact the dialog gets covered and hidden if you are
uploading to an ftp server, I like the Vista one better.

Doesn't take much to impress you, does it Frankie Boy? Maybe you'll get an
Etch-A-Sketch for Xmas, then you can really have fun.

Cheers.
