I hate copying files in Windows

I hate copying files in Windows.

"Do you want to overwrite?"
"Yes to all."
"But what about this one, it's read-only?"
"Yes, all".
"Oh hey, um, this one's a system file (thumbs.db). You sure?"
"Yes already"

Every time I update this directory. Not sure if there's a way to turn it off. I hate Windows.

Reminds me of a movie Tom Seleck was in back in the mid/early 90's where the computer kept prompting him in various and more irritating means with each iteration variations on "are you sure you want to delete" ...

... until Seleck's character utters an expletive and smashes his hand on the keyboard ...

And as if the computer senses its owner's anger, finally deletes - following-up with a prompt asking if the user would like to recover the file!

That's why I still have UnxUtils installed on my machine, and a command prompt window always open, nothing moves faster than 'mv' and nothing deletes more empirically than 'rm -rf *'
