For a directory, the structure specifies when the directory is created. For both files and directories, the specified date is correct, but the time of day is always set to midnight. If the underlying file system does not support last access time, this member is zero.

Although document metadata such as creation, accessed, and modified times may. seem to be helpful during e-discovery date filtering, that information may be. disingenuous. Internal file metadata may be more useful, but not all files have that. information available.

Report Abuse. 1  Date modified is the last time the file was changed. 2  Date Created : It is the system date that is stored in the properties of the file while it was created. 3  Date created is the first time the file was written to the disk.  i think its time to select your best answer, everyone here has answered correctly.

Not all file systems can record creation and last access times, and not all file systems record them in the same manner. For example, the resolution of create time on FAT is 10 milliseconds, while write time has a resolution of 2 seconds and access time has a resolution of 1 day, so it is really the access date. The NTFS file system delays updates to the last access time for a file by up to 1 hour after the last access.

So I looked at the properties of those files in C:\Windows\System32 and saw that their last modified date is way before their created date. Now the strange thing is that 2010 date... I did a factory restore in 2/2011 after cleaning 3 trojans off my Windows 7 x64 laptop and it still didn't function quite right.

So if you create a file, any file in any directory, right-click and choose Properties, the date modified (if it's recent) will say something like dd/mm/yyy hh:mm, one minute ago - reminder this is in Windows 7. Windows XP did it normally. Then they changed something.
