Clean & archive desktop script (windows)

Question

Right now I have a folder called holding zone on my desktop, so that it stays clear, however this folder gets cluttered and I still have to Manually move things to it from my desktop.

I would like to schedule a script to move everything except the holding zone folder into a new folder containing the current date in it's name, then move that folder into the holding zone folder automatically using windows task scheduler, how would I do this?

Answer 1

You'll want to look up the for loop construct, the date /T command, and the move command for the Windows command-line. Once you have a batch script that works normally, you can just add it as a scheduled task in the Task Scheduler. (Any more and it seems like you're asking people to do your work for free.)
