HOW TO DO NOT TO ALL WHEN COPYING FILES - Have you find yourself getting irritated by pressing no all the time when you copy a file to another folder and there is a file conflict because windows only gives you an option of yes, yes to all, no and cancel button on the confirm file replace dialog box. How much you feel that there must be a no to all but you cannot find it. If there is so many file conflict, I just hit the yes to all button and just wait to finish the copying or moving of files. But the process could have been easier and faster if there is a no to all button.This problem have been fixed in Windows Vista but if you are still working on WIndows XP, there is still a stealthy way to tell Windows not to overwrite all the files with name conflicts and thereby skip them over. You can create this “No to All” functionality by simply pressing and holding the SHIFT key when you click the No button in the Confirm File Replace dialog box.
PANDORA RECOVERY : DELETED FILES - 
Sometimes there are instances that we accidentally deleted a file and we forgot to make a duplicate copy of it. There is still a chance that you still might get that file even if it is already deleted. One of these chances is by using Pandora Recovery.
Pandora Recovery isn’t the onlyfree file recovery utility actually there are lots of them over the internet, you just have to find them. What is good about this program is that it has an extraordinarily easy to use interface. When you launch Pandora Recovery, you’ll be greeted with a helpful wizard that asks if you want to browse your hard drives, search for files or file types, or perform a deep scan of your drive for files.
There’s also a portable version of the application which can be run from a removable flash drive. But Pandora Mobile Recovery isn’t free. It’s part of the Pandora PowerPack, which costs $20.
FILE ALERT MONITOR – Here is a great utility program called File Alert Monitor wherein it will generate alerts about the creation, update or deletion of files in specified folders. File Alert Monitor will monitor specified directories on a local or networked PC and will display a pop-up Window or optionally play an audio alert, whenever action is taken on files in the specified folders. This is great tool if you have multiple computers having a common folder to share and you want to know if you got an updated file in it.Options within File Alert Monitor allow the user to specify which events (creation, update and / or deletion) are to be monitored. Additionally, users may specify which file types are to be monitored, by specification of the appropriate file suffix(s). And another thing is that, File Alert Monitor can also keep a log of all the files that are created, modified, or deleted for tracking purposes.
