Not everything I build is ambitious. Windows Organizer is a single organizer.bat script that does exactly one thing: it walks through the folder it lives in and sorts every file into a subfolder named after its extension. Images with images, PDFs with PDFs, and so on.

​
How it works

1

Drop it in a messy folder

Put organizer.bat in the Downloads folder — or wherever chaos has accumulated.
2

Double-click

It scans every file, creates a subfolder per extension, and moves files into place.
3

Done

It skips itself, reuses existing subfolders, and waits for you to press Enter before closing.
Requirements: Windows. That’s it. MIT licensed.

Why I keep it around

It’s the most-starred thing on my GitHub, which taught me something I keep relearning: the value of a project has almost nothing to do with how hard it was to build. A ten-line script that saves someone five minutes of dragging files around can be more useful than a month-long project nobody ever runs.
