Mixing files in a folder

Hello there!

So here it is, I've been looking for an answer to my question online for a long time, but it seems that my goal is foreign to the entire history of computing ^^.
Windows has the annoying habit (and thank God) of sorting files in a folder by name, type, or date, etc. Well, I am looking for a software that can randomly shuffle all the files in a single folder. Basically, turn everything upside down.
It may sound weird, but I really need it.

Thank you all,

Lou

    I am on Windows Seven. I only want to do this in a USB drive (which contains music).

    Thank you for your replies!

    Hello,
    You can rename them randomly with coding to know who is who in your files.

    Hi

    For one single folder, or do you want to be able to do it in any folder on the computer?
    Which Windows do you have? XP, Vista, Seven, ...

    hello
    sorting by file size should be vaguely random.
    otherwise, this script displays the list of files sorted randomly. 
    @echo off setlocal enableDelayedExpansion for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /b') do echo !RANDOM! %%a >> %TEMP%\xxx.xxx for /f "tokens=1,*" %%a in ('sort %TEMP%\xxx.xxx') do echo %%b del /q %TEMP%\xxx.xxx
