No to All for Windows "Confirm File Replace" dialog - 1:30 pm
I thought this is an "easter egg" thing from Bill Gates...

Ever wonder why windows did not include the "No to All" button in the below picture ?

Windows Confirm File Replace dialog

This dialog will appear in the middle of moving or copying a bunch of files to the destination (via Windows Explorer), where it got files that have same file name as the source.

It might be a pain in the ass to keep clicking the "No" button if you have tons of files that you don't want to be replaced due to some reasons. The worst part is you might even need to sit there for hours to catch any popup dialog because you don't know when it will popup and interrupt the process fear

So here is the new trick that I just learnt (I'm aware most of you might already knew this hundred years ago...):
To stimulate "No to All" function, press and hold the [SHIFT] key while you click the No button in the "Confirm File Replace" dialog.

That's what I called as cool-trick-no-jutsu heh
