Windows 7 Auto-Apply prompt rule to ALL files when target file already exist?

pstein · Jul 25, 2015

I sometimes copy/move multiple files + folders within WinExplorer by Drag&Drop to another folder
where these files & folder already exist (as an older version with the same name).

Then always a popup prompt appears aksing me if I want to
- replace the old existing files
- cancel the operation
- rename the new files/folders

More annoying is this little checkbox at the lower left corner which needs to be ticked when I want to apply this rule to all current file+folder operations.

How can I ALWAYS automatically let the checkbox be enabled BY DEFAULT for all future operations?

You could use this great, FREE little program called A Form Filler - automatically filling in Windows forms as quickly as they appear on your screen"

Once you add the action that you want (check the checkbox), A Form Filler will do it in the blink of an eye every time it pops up.

I have no affiliation with this program. I have used it for a number of years and love it.
