Hi Mark

I'm using BCB 5.5.1

Some programs can modify that date.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724933.aspx


For example with Microsoft it is possible to set this parameter to -1 like

    SetFileTime( hFile, &fTimeCreate, &fTimeLastAccess, &fTimeLastWrite );

    memset(&fTimeLastWrite, 0xFF, sizeof(FILETIME) );
    SetFileTime( hFile, &fTimeCreate, &fTimeLastAccess, &fTimeLastWrite );
    CloseHandle( hFile );

So the CloseHandle instruction doesn't alter that time.


Another alternative is to modify directly the file system.
But I don't know how ?
