I want an explorer that will allow me to queue files to copy to a USB Flash Drive, like to drag multiple files from different folders, but still maintaining the queue (not copying more than one file at once.)

Also, is it possible to have an alternative explorer while still keeping explorer that comes with Win 7 as the main explorer.

Is there anything that do both of these things?

Powerdesk Pro is the only alternative to Explorer that I am familiar with.

I don't think it lets you queue files.

Windows 8.1 has a much better, but still limited, file transfer system. It at least lets you throttle and pause file transfers.

I could think of a few ways to queue up the files. It would be somewhat easy to create a folder, create a Windows process to check the folder once a second, or less often, and if it finds a new file, to execute a robocopy job to a specified destination. Then a simple file cleanup. A simple loop would keep it from moving on to the next file until it completes the first.

Oh, yes, this will do the trick!
I can open TeraCopy, drag all the files I want to it (from any multiple folders), then start the move/copy.
(I can't add/adjust files in the list once I start to copy/move which would be ideal, but this will have to work.)
Thanks!
