How do I move a large number of files (400+GB) in Windows XP using
keyboard shortcuts (not command prompt) in such a way that during the
move I don't keep on getting prompted at random time intervals whether
I really want to move system files, or if I really wish to move read
only files, or that there is already a read-only file of the same
name...
.... I do know about the "Yes to All", but since I have so many files
it asks me some of the questions for example after 30 minutes of
moving files, and I don't want to have to keep on watching the
computer to see when it stops working and waits with another question.
Thanks

Dont move...copy them. Then delete the original. Copying is not a
"read" function and therefore, you shouoldnt get the prompt.
