I have 2 folders: from folder and to folder.
In each of these, I have a file named TEST.txt.

When I move TEST.txt
from from folder to to folder
— surely, this message appears:

enter image description here

In my case, I want to save both files, so I click "Let me decide for each file";
then (in a very next window) I pick both "from" and "to" ones,
and go "OK".

What follows is that Windows automatically takes
the name of "from" TEST.txt (which came from from folder)
and changes it to TEST (2).txt.

The Question is: what registry key should I create or modify
in order to customize this naming template?..

I'm familiar with the CopyNameTemplate, which rests in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\NamingTemplates,
but it only works for cases when you're specifically creating a copy of file right next to original (namely, without changing a folder): it doesn't affect moving files as I described.

Therefore, I seek a different naming template.

This is the registry key/value you're looking for:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\NamingTemplates

Value name: RenameNameTemplate
