    Changing the Date and Time of a File
       As a software developer I some times find it necessary to change the date and time of a file. This may be needed to resubmit software on the network or for other reasons. In the old days of MS-DOS we had a program called touch.exe. This program would only reset the create date and time to current. With the introduction to newer versions of DOS then Windows, Microsoft’s operating systems now store three different dates. The create date when the file was originally created. The modified date when the file was last changed, and the Access date when the file was last viewed. The last one continues to change even if you view the icon of the file from Windows folder view. I have recreated that old piece of software as a windows version. This program will allow you to change the create date and time, as well as the modify date and time. This program will work on any file including executable programs. I would recommend you not “TOUCH” any of your operating system files otherwise you may confuse your system into thinking a virus has modified the thing. You can download a copy of touch.exe here.
    [download]I have placed it into a zip file for safe downloading.
