No to All
I'm always copying groups of files back and forth between the computers on my network here at home and if Windows Explorer encounters a duplicate file (i.e. a file with the same name in the location you're copying to, it will prompt you to ask you what you want to do.
"The folder already contains a file named [filename]. Would you like to replace the existing file with this one?"
If you are copying multiple files, then your options are 'Yes', 'Yes to All', 'No', and 'Cancel'.
But I wanted a 'No to All' option, and it finally bothered me enough to look it up. According to this site, you should hold down SHIFT when you click 'No' and Windows Explorer will act as if you just pressed a magic 'No to All' button.
