Batch file to move desktop icons so ALL are sorted.
Win7 stores desktop icons in two different folders:
C:\Users\Public\Public Desktop
C:\Users\UserName\Desktop
This results in two groups of sorted icons on the desktop. I want to move all of the icons in the "C:\Users\Public\Public Desktop" to the "C:\Users\UserName\Desktop". This will result in ALL of the desktop icons being sorted.
I want to use a batch file to do the move. Then click on a desktop icon to run the batchfile. How can I do this?
----------
The batch file I've come up with is named "movicons.bat" as follows:
rem @echo off
move "C:\Users\Public\Public Desktop\*.*" C:\Users\Dad\Desktop
I created a desktop shortcut named "MovIcons" with the target as:
D:\Batfiles\movicons.bat
But when I click that desktop icon, the icons are not moved. Need help to get it all working.
Thanks,
