How to change file creation time in the different file systems
This can be done by using powershell to modify a list of FileInfo objects, for example:
Get-ChildItem G:\test\*.bak | foreach { $_.CreationTime = get-date "1/1/1982 1:00 pm"; $_.LastWriteTime = (get-date).AddDays(-1)}
Total Commander enables you to change creation date and time for a file.
- select one or more files
- select menu Files -> Change attributes
- in lower part of the form that opened click More attributes button
- for property select creationdate to change time and date (creatiotime if you only want to change time)
- click on >> button and enter value for date and time you want, then click OK
Total Commander is of course the answer to all file management problems! However if you only want to change dates (and other file properties), Better File Attributes is a cheaper alternative.
It's a shell extension (added to the context menu of files) that allows you to change creation, access and modification date and time.
If you want a freeware application, SetFileDate will do the trick too.
