To help you out in this regard, Windows has baked in the Sort by and Group By options in its right-click menu. However, that doesn’t spell out a clutter-free environment as all the files would still be present under the same folder. To counter this, I compiled a few lines of codes for your Windows PC that will automatically create folders and sort files based on their extension type.
For example, if you have 3 IMG files, 2 PNG files, 2 TXT Files, and 4 EXE files, then my command will create an IMG folder and send all the IMG files to that folder, create a PNG folder and send all the PNG files inside that folder and so on. All this is possible just via a single mouse click. Sounds impressive, right? So without any further ado, let’s check out how this could be achieved.
How to Automatically Create Folders and Sort Files Based on Extension in Windows
This guide outlines two different approaches to carry out the aforementioned task. The first is the Shortcut Method where I have provided the command file. You only need to open that file once and the rest will be taken care of by it. However, if you wish to challenge your inner geek and want to create the command file on your own, then the second method is just for you.
The Shorter Approach
That’s it! This is the simplest and easiest method to automatically create folders and sort files based on their extension type in Windows. However, if you want to get hold of the command that did this job, then hop onto the manual approach given below.
The Manual Method
So with this, we round off the guide on how you could automatically create folders and sort files based on their extension type in Windows. We have shared both the manual as well as the shortcut way of carrying out this task. With that said, if you have any queries concerning the aforementioned steps, do let us know in the comments. We will get back to you with a solution at the earliest.
