No, he means that the CloseHandle call sets the last access time to when the 
CloseHandle happened! I don't see a way round this! Certainly, the other 2 
work fine (last modified and last created), but last access includes the 
access required to set the last access date and time - a bit of a Catch 22 
situation!
