Processing multiple copying operations Sequentially
When I copy some files from a media to another media (e.g. from a CD-ROM to Hard Disk), i have to wait until it finish, because starting a new copy operations slows down the first one (because both of copies will process in parallel manner).
It is very helpful that explorer queue copy operations (especially operations related to a media that already is busy)

I use a replacement shell copy/move manager like TeraCopy. Queuing is automatic, but can be overridden on a per-case basis.
I agree. Rather than parallel execution, the transfers should instead queue if:
A) source disk and destination disk are the same
B) Simultaneous LAN transfers are attempted
+1 Good idea.
This is impossible if reading and/or writing to the same disk. The only way this would work is, for example, reading from A writing to B and at the same time reading from C and writing to D. You can't read from A and write to B while reading from B and writing to C.
Nivekv: No, you're wrong. It is possible, both operations would simply be slower.
PerigeeCopy- http://jstanley.pingerthinger.com/pscopy.html has an option to queue all copy operations sequentially.

I like to see the following scenario for the example in the screenshot:
1. i start the 1 copy process
->Windows opens the copy file dialog and begins to work
2. i start the 2 copy process
->Windows is adding this copy dialog into the SAME copy window that is already open
3. i start the 3 copy process
->Windows is adding this copy dialog into the SAME copy window that is already open
4. i start the 4 copy process
->Windows is adding this copy dialog into the SAME copy window that is already open and the 1 process is finish
5. i see that i need the 4 process to be finish very fast...so i drag and drop the process over the 2 process and i have now the following priority:
- Process 1, finish
- Process 4, running
- Process 2, waiting
- Process 3, waiting
