Windows File Explorer option: Hide Folder Merge Conflicts

Since Windows 8, there has been a new option under Windows File Explorer's global options called "Hide Folder Merge Conflicts". This option is useful if you want to change the way Windows prompts folder merges when copying or moving files.

By default, the option is on (checked), meaning that even if there are similarly named folders when copying or moving files, Windows doesn't prompt for them one by one. Usually, this is convenient, but then again, it's a change from previous operating system versions. Thus, you have the possibility to revert back to the original operation.

Of course, this kind of option can also be controlled through group policy, or set directly or programmatically in the registry. The correct key is:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Explorer\Advanced\HideMergeConflicts: DWORD

Hope this helps!
