Rearrange Files In Desktop With Their Extensions

In this blog, you will learn how to rearrange files in Desktop with their extensions.

We may have a lot of files on the desktop some times 20,40 and go on. Too many word doc, excel, Jpeg and screenshot, text files. we would have faced a situation where we will be searing a file on the desktop one by one. So thought of having a folder for each extension. This script will create a folder with extension name and move those files with respective folders

 

$DesktopPath = [Environment]::GetFolderPath(“Desktop”)
$Dir = get-childitem $DesktopPath -file
$Dir | foreach-Object{
$extname= $_.extension
$Dname=$_.DirectoryName
$Fname=$_.FullName
$extFolder=$Dname+”\”+$extname
CreateFolder ($extFolder)
MoveFile ($Fname,$extFolder)
}
Function CreateFolder ($extFolder){
   If(!(test-path $extFolder))
   {
      New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $extFolder
   }
}
Function MoveFile ($source,$destination) {
   Move-item -path $Fname -Destination $extFolder
}
