Title: When was a file created?[Advanced Technies}
Post by: Anonymous on May 18, 2002, 12:03:41 PM

Is it possible to access a hard drive and find out exactly when a file was created? Is it possible to dispute the fact that a file/doc was created before or after a stipulated date ie. can for eg. a word doc be created on April 06 be shown in the system to be created on February 15?
I need to settle an argument.

You can set the date on your computer back (or forward) and create a new file, copy the old file\'s contents into it, delete the old file, and rename the new file to the name the old file had.  Save the file, then set your computer back to the right date.  It will show the file as being created on the date you set your computer to.  I\'m not sure if that answers your question or not...
