When I select several files from one folder to move to a different folder will the most currently dated file automatically remain in the "moving" to file if the a file I am moving is older than the existing file? Or do I have to audit the move and select "skip" everytime there is a file conflict?

Hi,

I think you will have to tell Windows to either Copy and Replace, Don't Copy or Copy, but keep both files.

I believe you would need to use command line or 3rd party software if you always wanted the 'newest' file to copy without a prompt.

Regards,
Jamie
