Easy copying of folders?

Hi. As a quick backup, I sometimes copy a whole folder from drive c:/ to d:/
by taking the c:/folder and drop them on d:/.

In Windows XP, I got one question if I want to override the folder ->
clicked all -> okay.

In Vista, I have to do 5 clicks:
Do you want to integrate the folder -> Yes
There already are files there -> Click "Use for the next x actions" and
click "copy&replace"
There is already a folder named "xxxx" -> Click "Use for the next x actions"
and click "Yes"

Is there a more easy way?

The most reliable time to upgrade to a new Operating System is at the
end of its life cycle.

Well, I could use "copy" as well, but I thought an operating system would
take care of such basic things.

you can schedule Synctoy to automatically keep 2 folders the same.
the OS will take care of everything for you...

If space isn't an issue, then you can first rename the target folder
eg to D_DriveFolder to D_DriveFolder_OLD
and then copy to D_DriveFolder
If the copy is successful you can then delete the D_DriveFolder_OLD folder
(or keep it as a secondary backup)

1) create your destination folder : D:\My_back_Up_Dir

2) create a new text file: BackUP.txt with one line in it
the line to add ==> xcopy "C:\My__Directory_to_save" "D:\My_back_Up_Dir" /E
/C /F /R /Y

3) rename the file BackUP.txt to BackUP.bat

4) Double click on the icon of the BackUP.bat file

5) That's all
