Powershell - Organize media files based on creation date

In windows media files like jpg, mp4 or mov have properties called as extension attributes which record their creation date in addition to the regular creation and modified date properties. When we copy of move files to some other location, the regular created date and modified date properties are changed, but not so with the extension attributes. Thus the extension attributes record  correct timestamps.

I found a handy powershell script which can be used to organise media files based on their extension attributes. This script can be found at http://todd.ropog.com/organize-media-files-with-powershell/

Saves us a lot of time while taking backups :)
