I have a repetitive job that requires copying a set of
files from one directory to another, overwriting the
older/changed files. The "this file exists, overwrite?"
prompt is a huge annoyance and really slows down the
process.
Is there a switch to set that can disable the prompt in
the one task/directory? Not a default value for the whole
machine.

I think DOS could have handled this......

I use a program called PTFB to do that exact thing.
You can find it here:

I don't think you can stop it.

However you could use copy or xcopy from a command prompt and tell it to
suppress the warnings.
