“No to All” option

  • When completing file operations in Windows, a message may appear asking you what you wish to do. For example, if you are copying a file and there is already a file with the same name in a directory, a message will appear asking whether you wish to overwrite that file. You will notice four options are presented: Yes, Yes to All, No and Cancel. Note there is no ‘No to All’ option. So, if you didn’t want to overwrite any files in the directory you would need to click the ‘No’ option on every message that appears. Fortunately, there is an easier way. If you hold the SHIFT key and press ‘No’ in one of the messages, this will be interpreted as ‘No to All’. So, all other messages that would appear will automatically be interpreted as ‘No’.

Hi there. If this is the first time you are posting a comment it will not appear immediately, but needs to be approved. This is necessary in order to combat comment spam. However, once you have submitted a comment (which is subsequently approved) you do not need to go through this process again - the site remembers who you are and auto-approves your comments. Nifty eh? Anyway, sorry about the inconvenience that this may cause for your first comment post.
