Hi!

You say that the nice "XP-look" should appear when replacing one file with another with the same name.
Instead of the stupid W7/W8 way.
But, that is not so.

In the message box it says that I must click and "compare them" to be able to see the info of them. Pic1 and Pic2.
Not as in XP with name, date, time etc of both docs were shown.

Looking forward to your reply/change.

Lisa

File comment: This is in Swedish:
The three choices are
1. "Replace file in target"
2. "Skip this file"
3. "Compare information for both files"

File comment: This is in Swedish:
- Then when I've clicked on "Compare" - I get here.
- I then have to mark which file I want to choose and click OK.
- Not just clicking "Yes" as in XP.

Yes, this feature only works on Windows 7.

I hate it too. It is one of the worst "improvements" made in Windows 8. The Windows 8 dialog should be replaced if possible.
