Neat Trick: Windows ‘no to all’

Always frustrated how windows seems to have ‘Yes’ ‘Yes To All’ ‘No’ ‘Cancel’… but it doesn’t have a ‘No To All’ ?

I get this a lot, especially when I want to copy a bunch of files where there are some new ones. I don’t want to recopy the existing ones. Well, I have just learnt of a neat trick to take out the need for fancy scripts to do that job: hold shift when clicking the ‘No’ button.

voila! No to all. I don’t know if it works on all dialogs, but it certainly works on the file copy ones, and thats useful in itself.
