Tools simultaneously kicks off execution of all commands when it is used with 'for all selected files' ... is there a way to execute only one at a time?
I generate shortcuts using Shortcut.exe ... and with hundreds of selected files it really overwhelms my poor little laptop.
Thx

Thanks
That's what I ended up doing, though manually. I create a series of DOS commands using Export Config and copy and paste into DOS.
