Belvedere Automates Your Self-Cleaning PC

Windows only: Keep your desktop or any other folder on your hard drive organized and under control with Belvedere, an automated Windows file management tool. Use Belvedere's friendly interface to create advanced rules to move, copy, delete, rename, or open files based on their name, extension, size, creation date, and more.

What it does: Sets up rules for taking actions on files based on the name of a file, its extension, size, age, and more.

NOTE: Belvedere is a Windows knock-off of the Mac-only Hazel, and Gina has already guided you through setting up a self-cleaning Mac with Hazel, so for a few good ideas for how you might get started with Belvedere, check out her guide. Belvedere's not quite up to par with Hazel yet, but in time I'm hoping to implement as many of Hazel's features as I can for Windows users.

How It Works

Setting up rules with Belvedere is as simple as adding folders, then creating to run on each folder using Belvedere's simple point-and-click interface.

Just name your rule with the Description field and build your conditions with the drop-down menus. For more details, check out our guide to automatically clean and organize your Desktop, Downloads, and other folders with Belvedere.

Bug Reports and Feature Requests

Belvedere works well on my Vista PC, but it may have a few bugs here and there (it won't accidentally go deleting all the files on your computer by any means, but I probably wouldn't point it at your most important folders right away). If you've got feature requests or bug reports, I'm happy to hear them in the comments. Don't have a commenter account? Here's how to get one.
