WISHLIST: new over old, boot format, compress/copy hidden

[vjp2.at]

I'm wondering where we suggest things we'd like in future Windows?

I wish when you overwrite files, that you can have a feature/option
which saves the newer version.

I'm upset I can't format a boot disk on USB.

I've often gtten in trouble because I copoed or compressed something
and hidden files didn't come along. Sometimes on the same disk.

Already there in Windows Vista, and up. It's a function of the NT Backup
program that was updated to provide a file versioning function.

So you are not allowed to reformat any USB-attached mass storage (fixed or
removable) device?

That's been available for a very long time. Configure Windows Explorer to
show hidden files. Then you can select them as you can the other files.
