Automatically sorts your Downloads folder nightly using a Windows Scheduled Task.

File	Role
init.ps1	One-time setup script. Registers Scheduled-Task
modulesorter.ps1	Actual sorting logic

init.ps1 is run once by the user. It registers modulesorter.ps1 as a Scheduled-Task in Windows to repeat every day at 2 AM. If the machine was off at that time it will fire it at the next boot.

Stuff needed

-Windows 10/11 -Powershell 5.1 or newer -Admin rights

---

Setup

1. Clone or download the repo

Place both init.ps1 and modulesorter.ps1 in the same folder --> I recommend a specific folder in documents. If you wish to edit the time when the automation runs you can edit Line 15 in the init.ps1 file at the -Daily -At "xx:xx" flag.

2. Run the init.ps1 as admin

double click init.ps

or

# Start Powershell as admin
cd "C:\Users\yourfolderpathere" 
\.init.ps1

3. Verify the install

Get-ScheduledTask -TaskName "FileSort"

You should see State: Ready if the install was a success, like this:

TaskPath                                       TaskName                          State
--------                                       --------                          -----
\                                              FileSort                          Ready

Uninstall
