This is driving me crazy! In Windows XP you could copy files and replace
older versions in the destination, but not overwrite any newer ones.

In Vista I seem to have to do this manually for each file. Surely not?

Not so. The only exception would be those file that carried the system
attribute, and this applies to Vista as well. An overwrite is an overwrite,
no version check is applied.

Err... decide if I want to overwrite the newer file.

In XP there was a "Yes to all".

Anyway, I've found the solution: TeraCopy.
