| | Overwrite like XP with less confirmation dialogs? The number one annoyance to me in Vista is the number of confirmation dialogs presented doing a simple folder paste overwrite. In XP yes to all handled it in one click but in Vista seems to be confirmations for both files and every subfolder  No way to having it the old way (1 click does it all) in Vista? |

| | Re: Overwrite like XP with less confirmation dialogs? Bob It depends on where you are copying and pasting the folders/files. Areas such as C:\Program Files, C:\Windows, the Root of C:, some user folders, etc are heavily protected by security permissions. Moving folders and files in these areas should be something that is rarely done. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "Bob" <donotspamboborg@usa.net> wrote in message news:uaiYcPp3HHA.5164@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > The number one annoyance to me in Vista is the number of confirmation > dialogs presented doing a simple folder paste overwrite.
