I thought this would be a konqueror, but i see that in windows is the same 
thing., for this im sorry.

But i just send a reply saying that in fact in konqueror there is a bug when 
overwriting.

When i Moved the folder /temp appeared a small window giving the option to 
rename it, and not giving the option to overwrite and with file information 
like happens when doing the copy command and then overwriting in konqueror.
