Nowadays users are downloading many file types and folders from the internet and saving them in any folder or partition directly without organizing. Over the time that particular folder or Drive partition will become messy and unorganized. This made difficulties in finding any file from that folder or partition. Organizing these files manually will be a time-consuming task. So, in this post, I am going to teach you to Organize folder using the Batch file in Windows 10. You can create a batch file from the code below and move the batch file to any folder or Partition, then run it directly. Admin privileges not require. This batch file will create a folder based on the file extension and then move the files to the respective folder.  Let’s see how to create a Batch file to Organize your folder.

if "%%~xa" NEQ "" if "%%~dpxa" NEQ "%~dpx0" (
if not exist "%%~xa" mkdir "%%~xa"
move "%%a" "%%~dpa%%~xa\"
))

Save it to any location with the .bat file extension. I saved the batch file as File_Organizer.bat.
