Guest dougsdir@gmail.com Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Is there a windows gui program that allows you to pick files or folders and drag them to a destination, then add them to a batch list. Then build up a list with a few batch jobs and then at the end just run the whole batch copy one job at a time Using Windows Explorer , you can open up multiple explorer windows but it runs really slowly when you start doing a lot of multiple copies all at the same time I could write dos batch files but a gui would be simpler and quicker I found a program called file viewer 6 but that seemed to only copy single files at a time TIA Doug

The system will slow down during disk IO on large numbers of files. The speed is relevant to memory capacity, free disk space, read/write speed of the drive etc. Have you tried using xcopy command in a command shell? Open the run box and type 'xcopy /?' for command switch info. Mark
