Copy/Paste Dialog box

Hi,

I accidentally clicked onto the "do not ask me again option" during copy and paste of a file.

How to I enable the dialog box to prompt me again whether I want to overwrite an existing file or not?

Currently, the files will just be pasted even though there is an existing file, with a "copy" added to the file name.

    Hi,

    I would suggest you to create a new user account and then check if you get the prompt:

    Create a user account

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/create-user-account#create-user-account=windows-8

    Let us know the results. If you have any further issues on the computer, please post your question related to Windows and we will be happy to help you.
