Some one please help on this

That pop-up is for your own security!

Not at all, that's the ultimate evidence of Microsoft's lazyness.

Take Word, or any MS Office app, select some text, copy, select another text and paste.

Did you saw a security alert "You are overwriting your text ! [continue/abort]" ???

But in explorer (which is newer than word), MS devs did feel it is better not to include a real undo mecanism (beside the NTFS journalisation, the recycle bin and the system restore, the WFP/SFC cache, the hotfixes uninstallers, and so on : there's many "undo-like" features in windows that are not "centralized", wasting space and resources...), and to bug the user each time it does a filesystem operation... (and i do say "bug" for a reason : if you're pasting a folder over another, the explorer just says "some things can get replaced, continue/abort ?" even if there's nothing about to be replaced... and when that's the case, seeing precisely what would be much more helping)

..../me feels better now :lol:

roy1984, you could try alternate explorers or alternate shells
