Toad SS: Get error messages after automation tries to run

When multiple automation jobs are running, the following error message is received.

System.IO.IOException
The process cannot access the file 'C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Quest Software\Toad for SQL Server 6.1\Connections.xml' because it is being used by another process.

More than one automation job is trying to access the connections.xml file at one time.  The connections.xml file is the file that contains all the saved connection information in Toad.

Schedule the automation jobs so that their start times are staggered and not starting at the same time.  That way the automation jobs will not try to access the connections.xml file at the same time when trying to connect.
