You're copying files in Windows Explorer, and there's an error (file in use, or something). You take care of the error, and start the copy process over again, but for each of the files that copied properly the first time, you are prompted whether or not you want to replace it. There is a "Yes to All" option, but not a "No to All" option. Here's the trick: hold down the SHIFT key, and click the No button, and that will tell Windows Explorer "No to All."

Outlook Express Archive Pro - Free Trial - Click here! - 100% guaranteed! By Raymond Easy Way to Open Special Explorer Windows Tip: Sometimes it just isn't very efficient to click several levels deep into menus and folders. This is why I'm always happy to find a shortcut for things. For instance, in a previous tip, I mentioned that you can use the Windows key (if you have one, it's in the lower left, between the Ctrl and Alt keys) plus R to open the Run command window instead of clicking Start then Run. Well, in that box, you can type the name of some of the folders, and they will automatically open in a Window. For instance, if you type "sendto" the SendTo folder will open. You can type "My Documents" to open that folder. Typing "c:" will open a window at the root of your c: drive. There are many more that work, if you try them - ones with spaces need the quotes around them. Of course, if you type in the whole path, that works every time (but might not be faster than using the mouse). Net Detective - is an amazing new tool that allows you to "Find out the TRUTH about anyone" if you ever wanted to know about your friends, family, neighbors, employees, and even your boss!" You can even check out yourself. It is all completely legal , and you can do it all in the privacy of your own home without anyone ever knowing. It's even better than hiring a private investigator.
