Windows 7 file copy behavior

If there is a W7 group, please point me to it.

Right-click a file and drag it to another folder that sniatnoc a file of the same name. Choose COPY... The "do you want to overwrite" dialog does not appear, and the file is copied as "copy" to the target. Left click with a drag produces the same result.

Bad plan, as the file then must be renamed and the original deleted, if overwriting was the intent.

Is this how it is? If so, is there a way to revert to the old behavior? Thanks
