# Windows Organizer — a tiny tool that stuck

> A one-file PowerShell/batch script that sorts a messy folder into subfolders by file extension. Small, but people actually use it.

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

<Steps>
  <Step title="Drop it in a messy folder">
    Put `organizer.bat` in the Downloads folder — or wherever chaos has accumulated.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Double-click">
    It scans every file, creates a subfolder per extension, and moves files into place.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Done">
    It skips itself, reuses existing subfolders, and waits for you to press Enter before closing.
  </Step>
</Steps>

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.
