If you use Explorer to paste a file into a directory, and there’s already a file with that name in the directory, you get a Replace or Skip Files<\/i> dialog with options to replace the existing file, skip the file, or compare info for both files. A customer remembered that in earlier versions of Windows, there was no option to compare info, but there was<\/i> an option to copy the file with a new name, so that the directory contains both the old file (with its original name) and the new file (with a numeric suffix). Where did that option go?<\/p>\n

The option to keep both files is still there. It’s hiding under Compare info for both files<\/i>.<\/p>\n

In the resulting dialog, you are given information about the conflicting files and can select which version you want. If you select both versions, then the copied file will have a number added to its name.<\/p>\n
