  Since the last Win 10 upgrade I can't overwrite files with the same names anymore, instead I get version numbers. I don't want this ... how do I get it back to the way it was?

  Example:

  In a folder I have a file called "FRED" and it's a word file.

  Then I copy a "newer" version of FRED into that same folder. Rather than getting the message saying that the file already exists and do I want to SKIP, REPLACE, etc ... now it just creates another version of it and I now have TWO files ... one called FRED and the other called FRED (1).

  How do I stop this, it's incredibly annoying?

  Thanks in advance !
