Copy files silently without message boxes

Copywhiz lets you copy files without any message boxes such as error messages or 'File Replace' prompts. This option is especially helpful when taking automated backups. You don't have to give special attention to answering any messages that may appear while the files are being copied.

Here are the steps to follow:

Step 1: Open Advanced Settings

If you have selected files in Copywhiz using File Explorer (Windows Explorer), then go to the destination folder. Right-click inside the folder, choose Copywhiz → Paste Advanced to open the Copywhiz window and click on the 'Advanced Settings' button as shown in the picture below.

Step 3: Run silently

Now check 'Run silently' option to make sure no message boxes appear while copying files.

By default, when you run silently, all duplicate files are replaced. But you can also change to 'Skip' or 'Rename' from the 'File Replace' drop-down box shown in the above picture.

Step 4: Finally, Paste

Press the OK button and click on the 'Paste Now' button to copy files silently. A sound plays indicating the successful completion of a file copy task.



Copywhiz works on Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7
