Moving files: When Yes to All doesn't work...

Hi,

I've noticed that often when moving files from one disk to another, I am
prompted several times to the confirm moving a readonly file, however on
each occasion I respond with "Yes to All"... that's the bit I can't quite
figure out, surely on the first reponse with "Yes to All" I shouldn't
receive any further prompts... or is it simply considering as a "Yes to All"
within the directory containing the first ReadOnly file ? Is there a GUI
based way of moving files without all the prompts ?

Regards


Steven.

Thanks, I didnt know about that one, though when trying it out, the
application hung. Perhaps something to incorporate as a feature for the
next release of Windows....
