System Specs: AMD 1.1G 1.2G Ram Several Hard Drives

Version of windows: XP Home Edition

Detailed information: To update a folder I Drag and Drop. First Prompt = Confirm Folder Replace. Always Yes to All. This prompt is unessessary what registry value do I change to eliminate this prompt. Next I get confirm file replace = Always Yes to All. This prompt is unessessary, what registry value do I change to eliminate this prompt. Then it stalls a little latter on = Confirm Folder Replace. Always Yes to All. This prompt is unessessary, what registry value do I change to eliminate this prompt.

When I Drag and Drop, to update a folder, it seems a waste of time to constantly keep answering these pesky prompts. I would like to to eliminate these prompts to make the update process seamlessly efficient, since I have never used anything but Yes to All. I?ve looked for these prompts in the registry but couldn?t find where there at.

Not sure of a reg entry for that but you could use XCOPY /y from a command prompt or write a batch(.bat) file with the command in it. You can do an XCOPY /? at a command prompt to see a whole list of options. If this is the same folder(s) you are updating to/from creating the batch with your set options may be the easiest and safest route so you dont accidently overwrite files you didnt intend to in the future.

hth,
