ProPath

ProPath is a Python program designed to help you keep your Windows desktop tidy by arranging desktop icons according to user-defined rules. It organizes desktop files into folders based on their file extensions.

Features

• Define rules to move files with specific extensions into designated folders.
• Automatically organize files on your desktop based on the rules you set.
• Moves folders to a designated "Folders" directory, keeping the desktop clutter-free.

Installation

1. Ensure you have Python installed on your system. You can download it from python.org.

2. Make sure the pywin32 package is installed. You can install it using pip:

   pip install pywin32

3. Clone this repository or download the ProPath.py file.

Usage

1. Open ProPath.py in a text editor.

2. Modify the rules in the __main__ section to suit your needs. For example:

   propath.add_rule('.txt', 'Text Files')
   propath.add_rule('.jpg', 'Images')

3. Save your changes.

4. Run the script by navigating to its directory in a terminal or command prompt and executing:

   python ProPath.py

Customization

• Adding Rules: Use the add_rule(extension, folder_name) method to specify how files should be organized. The extension is the file type (e.g., .txt, .jpg), and folder_name is where you want these files to be moved.
• Default Folders: The script moves unclassified folders into a folder named "Folders" on the desktop. You can change this behavior by modifying the move_folder method.

Limitations

• The script is designed for use on Windows and may not function correctly on other operating systems.
• Be cautious when moving files, as this script will alter the location of your files based on the rules you set.
