The Magic Folder is a gadget that helps you categorize and move files. When you drag a file to the gadget it will look at the file extension and place Document files (like doc, xls, ppt, etc) in the Document folder. It places image files like (JPEG, PNG, TIFF, GIF, etc) into the Pictures folder. And many more extension types come pre-registered.

However, you can also add/remove file extensions recognized by the gadget and change where these files go.

You can even add your own folder locations!

And if you do not like folder redirection by extension you can change it to prompt you for the location each time.

Additionally, when you click The Magic Folder you can select from the list of folders and then jump directly to that folder in Windows Explorer.

Finally, this gadget will let you know when there is an update available. For more information, news, updates or to provide suggestions, please visit my blog at:

Genius (12/7/2007)
Functionality anyone should want, in an attractive, customizable package. I was surprised to find an array of color choices, so it should fit with any Sidebar setup.

Fantastic (10/10/2007)
This is a great tool that I use daily. While there is always room for improvement, I still give it five stars. It is a creative, useful and unique gadget that stands out among thousands of "same 'ols'." I hope that the developer will continue to work with it..

An absolute MUST for anyone who uses their desktop for an inbox (4/10/2008)
If you're anything like me, you keep your desktop as clean as possible. After a while, though, it gets all cluttered up with things that go into different places. Rather than take the time to figure it all out, this little folder saves a lot of time by acting as a virtual dustpan for your desktop and distributing everything wherever you want it to go. I had a few more folders that the program didn't, such as ebooks and flash movies, but it took no time at all to setup.

Great idea and works well. (1/14/2008)
I like the idea. I've been creating new "Send to" shortcuts until now. Shame about the look though. I don't really like the black background. Reminds me of Windows 3.1 apps. Hope it can be changed to System colours... Well done David!

Does not work (10/20/2007)
This keeps freezing. Needs to be redone so it works reliably.
