We notice in the image above, that in the "Confirm File Replace" box, Windows XP does not allow us to not copy all files that contain names identical to those already in the destination folder. For each negation we must press the "No" button. It wouldn't be a big problem, but if there are 500 pictures to copy, and 100 of them are already in the destination folder… it will take some time to press the button 100 times "No".

"No to All”Also exists in Windows XP, but to use this command you have to hold down Shift and to click on the "No" button from “Confirm File Replace".
