Rendering multiple files automatically?

Write a batch file to run blender from the console. Just simple DOS commands in a text file that would execute blender. On a windows machine, you’d type the commands in a text editor (notepad) and save with the extension of .bat and once you create the text file, just double click it to execute, (or run from a dos prompt).

Here’s a listing of the command line switches: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Render/Command_Line
And if you save the .bat file inside blender’s folder, there should be no need for drive paths for executing blender, just the file path for the .blend file. If you have the start/end frames, output format and output directory set in the .blend files, then the commands in the .bat file should be as simple as:

blender -b file1.blend
blender -b file2.blend
etc....

There’s really no need to mess with loki render (which I have read good things about) or blender’s netrender (which I’ve heard so-so things about) if you can use the command line…
