Clean your desktop! - inv3ctus - Oct 27, 2017
Code
import os
desktop = os.path.join(os.path.join(os.environ['USERPROFILE']), 'Desktop')
clean_folder = 'Shit'
def clean(from_dir, spec_dir):
for file in os.listdir(from_dir):
if not '.lnk' in file and file != clean_folder:
try:
os.rename(from_dir + '\\' + file, spec_dir + '\\' + file)
except:
pass
def fu_clean():
curr_dir = os.getcwd()
os.chdir(desktop)
clean(desktop, desktop + '\\' + clean_folder)
os.chdir(curr_dir)
if not clean_folder in os.listdir(desktop):
os.mkdir(desktop + '\\' + clean_folder)
fu_clean()This code makes a folder on your desktop with all the files and folder that are currently on your desktop, except for the shortcuts!
Perfect for keeping your computer organized!
