I have to Overwrite all day long, lots and lot of files.
2 issues.
1. every time I overwrite, I have to go throught the several prompt dialogs --- how to avoid???
2. i just did an overwrite from one drive to another and it appears to have merged rather than full overwrite?
Hi Bobmane.
Overwrite Word files? Batch replacing files? Just want to know if these prompts are coming from a program or the operating system. Thanks!
batch replacing folders filled with various types of files (video, audio, images, text)
i have been reading about those but don't understand them + downloaded richcopy.
richcopy...seems to do everything ------------- except--------------(of course) simple- folder overwrite!!!!???
downloaded teracopy.

Using the normal Copy command in dos with the /Y switch should do the trick. E.g.
copy abc.xyz c:\windows /y
would copy the file abc in the current directory to C:\windows without the prompt even if the file already exists in C:\windows.
The /y switch should also work with XCOPY.
thanks...good to know
+ at least the utilities are kind of cool in their own right...
