There's several I've used for windows. My favorite was a very simple one added to the 'right click' dialog window, named "Date & Time Shell Extension v1.41" but it only worked under Win98/NT, I never got it to work under W2k and I think the developer is no longer supporting it.
Another app is SetFileDate v1.1 but the one I currently use is "Attribute Changer" which is accessed from the right click dialog. Works pretty well, allows you to make changes to the three file date/time attribs (created, accessed, modified) plus other attributes. Sure comes in handy when working generating batch files with a text editor and/or mapbasic not to mention a lot of other applications where you must generate so many files the process takes minutes even hours, but want the same "created date/time" for all.

Being so small, it's more convenient than any similar UI-based utility. Ian Thomas GeoSciSoft - Perth, Australia -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
