Desktop Organizer - wurd - Dec 23, 2015
Short but sweet code, drag and drop a mess of programs and the code organizes the programs by their extensions.
Code
@echo off & setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
for %%A in (%*) do (
set /a x+=1
set prog!x!=%%A
set progext!x!=%%~xA
)
for /l %%A in (1,1,!x!) do (
if "!progext%%A!"=="" set progext%%A=Folders
if not exist "%cd%\!progext%%A!" md "%cd%\!progext%%A!"
for /l %%B in (%%A,1,!x!) do (
if exist "!prog%%B!" if "!progext%%A!"=="!progext%%B!" move !prog%%B! !progext%%A!
))
cls & echo Finished. Cleaned !x! Programs up.

Just taking a quick glance through it, I've got a small suggestion. You should take a look at using a standard FOR loop (no extra switches) to loop over %* It has all the arguments already, so you don't need to shift for each one.

I've been trying to use the standard for loop but I keep getting errors when I try to loop through the extensions
Code
for %%A in (%~x*) do set /a "y+=1" & set "progext!x!=%%A"Code
for %%A in (%*) do set /a "x+=1" & set "prog!x!=%%A"* - 0xDEAD10CC - Dec 25, 2015
As far as I can tell, you need to loop through %*, not %~x*, and from there you would do %%~xA...
Ex:
Code
FOR %%G IN (%*) DO (
ECHO %%~xG
)* - White Light - Dec 25, 2015

but when I do(below) it works, keep in mind I need to grab the extension since the program organizes based off the extension.Codefor %%A in (%~x*) do set /a "y+=1" & set "progext!x!=%%A"
can someone point out my mistake?Codefor %%A in (%*) do set /a "x+=1" & set "prog!x!=%%A"
As 0xDEAD10CC said, you should loop through %* and then use the x modifier on each individual result. There's no way for the script to natively use modifiers on %* without first parsing through the individual parameters.

it organizes them by filetype, so all like filetypes are grouped up.

Awesome demo gif. :> Very good to show people how it works!
