A little over a year ago, I made a Desktop Organizer. Looking back on the code, it was very pitiful. But now, my batch skills have gotten better, and I decided to make a reloaded version. This time it is way more efficient, and uses a significant less amount of lines than the first one did. The original project can be found here 😖

Code

@echo off >Nul
Set "path=%userprofile%\Desktop"
For %%a In (.txt, .png, .mp3, docx, .bat) Do (For %%b In (%%a) Do (
      If exist "%path%\*%%a" Mkdir %%a
      Move "%path%\*%%b" %path%\%%a
  )
)
pause >nul
@exit /B

As you can see, the %path% variable is set to the desktop. This can be changed to organize any folder you'd like. I probably should have changed the name to "folder organizer" but by default, it is set to organize the most used part of your machine. Feel free to add to this code or do whatever.

one thing though, just because of what the environment variable "path" is and how significant that is and bad it would be if it got globally changed not just changed within this batch-file's running session it even though it wont be it might be better to use

Code

cd  /d "%userprofile%\desktop"

than

Code

Set "path=%userprofile%\Desktop"

just out of good habit




good job,
this would definitely simplify my desktop lol

Sorry, I'm incredibly exhausted 🤮

Thanks for the share OP!
