I frequently want to move a bunch of files from one place to another, perhaps from one machine to another.  Unfortunately, the file transfer will stop as soon as a read-only or system file (like the thumbnails file for a folder with images) is found, and an Are you sure? prompt arises.  Sometimes if I'm copying a lot of data, this won't happen for a few minutes (like, after I've already left the machine, thinking it'll keep moving data while I'm gone), so I'll come back only to find that the operation is halted pending my action.  I know I could drop down and use xcopy, but that's not nearly as convenient as using Windows Explorer for these operations.  What's the shortcut key to Cut-Paste (or Move) files with a /Y switch such that any Are you sure prompts are answered YES?
