How do I kill the annoying "yes to all" prompts to avoid having to 'babysit' the process when copying or deleting large folders in Windows XP?

Occasionally I delete or copy large folders in Windows XP----as do many people.

How can I get rid of the annoying "yes to all" prompts that appear so that I don't have to 'babysit' this process and it can complete on its own?

I realize the value of the prompts during a delete process, but I occasionally encounter large folders of dead documents that need to be deleted; sometimes I need to copy large folders for backup purposes. Thanks.

Thanks to all who replied--all suggestions were of value to me. I gave out points based on how much copying I do versus how much deleting I do. In addition, I gave out points for the TweakUI suggestion because I forgot I had an old version of that---it's a cool program I had forgotten about. The copy program solutions were nice as well. When the smoke all clears, the winner is: DOS. Go figure.... 'back to the future' right?
