Thanks guys for the suggestions; Squashman No idea of what you are saying in there, cuz you have an access denied? see I recognized that I don´t know much about batch coding. and Foxidrive, I really appreciate your probably legitimate concern (because you know more)about the danger that there can be...

Did I sound irritated? sorry! It just that I havent encounter any problem with it, is more, I did what you told me, to put the batch in C:\windows, and when I called it, and choose to organize C:, still does the same thing, looked at the root and does the job, didn´t touch a single file from C:\wind...

I am doing it in Windows 7 professional! I am satisfy with the way it is, right now it creates a folder where the person choose, if it choose C: it create a folder called ORGANIZED in C:, if it choose D: it creates a folder called ORGANIZED in D:, in the future I will see what happen when I merge th...

foxidrive, if I typed (start.) with a dot, at the command prompt, it gives me a windows folder view of where I am. So if I am at C:\ it will show all the folder in there. Now, if I typed only (start) without the dot, will open another CMD windows. To clarify something foxidrive, I don´t know if your...

This is the Spanish version: edited by Squashman to put CODE tags around the code @echo off cls :MENU ECHO. ECHO ..................................................................... ECHO ESTE PROGRAMA ORGANIZA SUS ARCHIVOS QUE ESTAN DESORDENADOS ECHO ...................................................

Squashman, That's a period after the start command.
What start command?

So this is the English version: Code: @echo off cls :MENU ECHO. ECHO ..................................................................... ECHO THIS PROGRAM WILL ORGANIZE YOUR SCATTERED FILES INTO SEPARATE FOLDERS ECHO ..................................................................... ECHO. ECHO ...

Yes, that is what I was looking for. See the other commands would show a directory inside a CMD screen: start "" "%comspec%" /k dir "%drive%\organized" cd /d "%drive%\ORGANIZED" dir But now, with this : explorer "%drive%\ORGANIZED" it shows the finis...

Yes Squashman, it did echoed, but only to the CMD screen. but it didn´t actually open a windows showing the contents of the ORGANIZED folder.

It printed:
C:\ORGANIZED
press any key to continue...

Does not change to that directory!

Hi foxidrive, with this command "cd /d "%drive%\ORGANIZED" nope! it didn´t change to the organized folder. Maybe I didn´t explain myself. When the program run the last routine, if not exist %drive%\ORGANIZED\INTERNET-FILES md %drive%\ORGANIZED\INTERNET-FILES for %%x in (htm html) do m...

I also want to put at the end, an statement to change to the ORGANIZED folder when the batch finish.
I tried:
CD\ORGANIZED
CD %DRIVE%\ORGANIZED

What else is there?

I added some more file extensions, and soon I will post the English and Spanish version.

I would like to spice it up, like a nice color windows, with buttons to push, you know?
with a batch you can´t do too much, or I am wrong?

I have to really thank you all involved, I still want to see Ed Dyreen way of doing it, very neat!

And for my batch that anybody can have, I will try to dress it up with colors and maybe convert it to exe.

Big hug!
