Set Default Value For "File In Use" Dialog?
When I select all files in a directory and then hit Delete, I always get
"File In Use Action can't be completed because...." This is expected because at any given time 7 of those files will be in use. What I would like to do, though, is set something (Registry?) so that the "Do this for all current items (xxx found)" checkbox is initialized to True instead of False. That way, I just hit RightArrow to select "Skip" and hit "Enter" to proceed.... no mouseing or repeated tabbing required. Is there a way? -- Pete Cresswell |

I think if you use Robocopy, it has options to auto-skip files in use. Of course, you'll have to use the command-line interface when using that, rather than the GUI. Yousuf Khan |

In a sensible (non-Microsoft) world the program would delete all the files that it could delete before bothering you about the files that it couldn't delete. Then all you'd have to do is hit "Esc". Sorry, that's not much use is it? -- Mike Barnes Cheshire, England |
