Tagged: Windows Trick for selecting “no to all” in explorer.
When copying files in explorer, you are often prompted if you would like to overwrite files. Your options are yes, yes to all, no, and cancel.
Where is no to all?
If you are copying a bunch of files and do not want to overwrite any of them, you are stuck pressing no, no, no for every file.
Here’s the trick…
hold down SHIFT when you click no and explorer will act as if you just pressed a magic no to all button.
Cool, huh?
