Replace or Skip file dialog box not appearing anymore, always paste as a copy if file exist

Hi Rajeshwari,

Thanks for providing the solution.

However I followed the steps you have provided and I still dont get the replace or skip files option.

Anything that I might be missing which is obvious?

I actually also did a system restore to a point where I was able to see the "replace or skip files" option but still doesnt work.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Dheeraj

Hi Rajeshwari,

I actually find what the issue was. I was using the copy function to directly copy picture from my iphone and because of this it was not giving me the replace or skip option. I copied the files in a temp folder on my desktop and then copied them to the folder
where the duplicate files existed. This worked like a charm and I was able to get the replace or skip dialog box.

Thanks
