Classifying by the first two characters of the file name can make file management more efficient, such as attaching shortcut labels to files, and machines and people can recognize file types at a glance. In the case of a large number of files, no matter how complex the following file name is, only the first two characters are needed to quickly find the desired file, and the system processes it faster without making errors due to the length of the file name. Here is how to use the two digits, letters or words starting from the leftmost side of the file name to classify the files into the corresponding folders. It supports Word, Excel, PDF, JPG and other file formats.

Under the condition that the file type is fixed with the first two characters of the file name, we can classify the files in batches according to the two numbers, letters or characters starting from the leftmost side of the file name to avoid manual search.
