control creation date

umeca74 · 20th September 2010, 14:10

in windows OS when you first create or copy a file in a folder, its creation date is set accordingly at thas moment

I have noticed that FILE command does not do so, it preserves the _original_ file time (i.e. the one in my computer, not the end user's computer). This would be reasonable for time last modified, but not for creation time

is there any way to control the creation time? Or touching it afterwards?

thanks
