Looking for a program to run batch jobs to copy files

[dougsdir]

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

Whether or not you can select multiple files the actual copy operation is
one file at a time. 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.
