Guest Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) This is a short and sweet batch script file that will be placed inside a directory full of files. This script will be launched by double clicking on the file.. it will then create folders using each filename and place the files inside. This script became useful for fixing a directory which became slow to browse using Windows Explorer ( or other file browser ) because of the size and/or number of loose files within that directory. I used this to speed access to my main video library which is on a Linux-based filesystem, over a network. This also happens with other filesystems.. when a query is made to list files in said directory using certain methods.. The script also makes it easy to store additional files and folders per item as well, taking on the main brunt of the issue. The script: @echo off for %%a in (*.*) do ( md "%%~na" 2>nul move "%%a" "%%~na" ) cd .. del %%~na pause You may copy the script into a notepad document, naming it as 'folder.bat.txt. After it is saved.. you will then remove the .TXT extension and double click on the file within the directory you want folders created for. You may also download the file here: folder.zip Nice quick solution.. Edited March 17, 2021 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
