Confirmation to Overrwrite Files Pop Window Hidden!!

Question

Hi is there a way to NOT have the Replace the File in the Destination pop window hidden on another tab?? I find this ludicrous that Windows had the hair brain idea to hide the important  and required to click a button window by default!
