    Bring Back "Keep Both Copies" When Copying Files


    Windows 10Pro -


    Does anyone else miss the one step to keep both copies of an identically named file if you copy a file into a directory by simply clicking that choice?


    Right now you have to click the choice "Compare Info for both Files" where you then have to go and select the files you want to do this for. That's probably a great option for those who need to make that choice, but let's add back as well the first choice that existed for so long in Windows.


    I don't know why this was changed/removed, but please bring it back.

    :)

    Java.nio.file - Copying files

    You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
    You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one

    How to copy files from a dvd which doesnot copies?

    Have you considered that your disk is simply broken at that point, causing the pause in copying?

    Seriously, use a piece of software like Daemon Tools to copy your DVD stuff. It has logs that tell you what goes wrong so we don't all have to guess what is breaking without any information.

    Take the steps people are recommending. If you're not doing that then there's no point in you making a thread asking for help you're going to ignore.
