- How to copy a file (through WinExplorer context menu) with IDLE priority?
- Posted by Peter Eisenman on October 12th, 2005
I am occasionally transferring large files (> 1 GB) from
- network drive to another
- CD to harddisc
- harddisc to encrypted external USB drive
This copying operation lasts (when performed normally through WinExplorer per drag&drop resp.
context menu) approx 1-2 minutes at minimum.
During this this a lot of cpu is requested from the copying process and has a negativ impact on other
currently running processes on my computer.
What I need is a copy utility with IDLE (or low) priority which continues to work only if cpu ressources are available.
Otherwise it remains in status pending.
Is there such a tool? It should be applicable easily by a context menu of WinExplorer.
So entering commands at the commandprompt is NOT desired.
