"No to All" is the same thing as Cancel. I could be mistaken about this next part but I don't think No = No to All. If you have multiple things you're copying and you only want to replace some of them, then you can just hit No to the ones you don't want to replace and Yes to the ones you do. This would only be used for someone who is doing something super specific, most people wil just hit Yes to All or Cancel. Wrong. “No to All” is the same thing as Cancel.

The solution to this is to hold the "Shift" key while choosing the "No" option. I have to admit this article confused me a bit, I hope this clears things up. Also, I don't think this has been mentioned, but it's been stumbled. :P No To All =/= Cancel or No
To help me explain, refer to this handy little guide:

-Yes = Replace file
-Yes To All = Replace all files
-No = Move this file, but not replace (result = two files with the same name)
-Cancel = Neither move nor replace

The missing option is “No To All”, which would move all files to the selected folder without replacing any files with duplicate names. The solution to this is to hold the “Shift” key while choosing the “No” option.
I have to admit this article confused me a bit, I hope this clears things up.

Also, I don’t think this has been mentioned, but it’s been stumbled. :P

If you choose No (Do not copy folder) then it will not overwrite ANY files, as the folder containing the files will NOT be copied. Make sense? No = No To All
