recovering files

i lost about 300 songs on my hard drive...they were in a folder of about 3000...this folder was backed up a while ago...what i want to do is a drag and drop...i do not wish to overwrite the existing files....hundreds of hours were spent re tagging.....i also dont wish to keep hitting no 2700 times to each prompt asking if i wish to overwrite....

if i can say yes to all...is there a way to say no to all

Why not try doing the opposite. Drag the files from the new folder ( the ones you have re tagged) into the folder with the extra songs that were missing then overwrite the old songs with the new ones which are re tagged!

Catch my drift.

Come on don't be afraid of the command line!

code:D:\Profiles\me>copy /?
Copies one or more files to another location.

COPY [/D] [/V] [/N] [/Y | /-Y] [/Z] [/A | /B ] source [/A | /B]
     [+ source [/A | /B] [+ ...]] [destination [/A | /B]]

  source       Specifies the file or files to be copied.
  /A           Indicates an ASCII text file.
  /B           Indicates a binary file.
  /D           Allow the destination file to be created decrypted
  destination  Specifies the directory and/or filename for the new file(s).
  /V           Verifies that new files are written correctly.
  /N           Uses short filename, if available, when copying a file with a
               non-8dot3 name.
  /Y           Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an
               existing destination file.
  /-Y          Causes prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an
               existing destination file.
  /Z           Copies networked files in restartable mode.

The switch /Y may be preset in the COPYCMD environment variable.
This may be overridden with /-Y on the command line.  Default is
to prompt on overwrites unless COPY command is being executed from
within a batch script.

To append files, specify a single file for destination, but multiple files
for source (using wildcards or file1+file2+file3 format).
