XCOPY: Overwrite all without prompt in BATCH

I'm writing a batch program for copying all files newer than the destination from "C:\Users\ADMIN\Desktop" to "D:\Backup".

This code is works:

xcopy "C:\Users\ADMIN\Desktop\*.*" "D:\Backup\" /K /D /H

However, it asks for each existing destination file: Overwrite file [Yes / No / All]?

I want to overwrite all existing destination files without user intervention.

How can I solve this?

I wanted to copy some backups from a share location (or server) to a local one by replace option, so I use this code and it worked well:

Xcopy "\\bi-srv\SQL\Backup" "E:\backup\sql\Backup" /c /i /e /h /y

just save it in a bat format and schedule it by windows task scheduler

The solution is the /Y switch: 

xcopy "C:\Users\ADMIN\Desktop\*.*" "D:\Backup\" /K /D /H /Y
