    How to rename file to name of existing one with replacing


    When I use windows 11 file explorer for renaming file to some file name, which exists in current folder, system offers to rename to some other name adding number... In previous versions it was possible to choose replace existing file and finish task in one action. How can I enable this behavior in latest windows explorer version? Exiting process, finding existing file, deleting it and trying again is not effective.

    :)
