File Date Attribute Changer : Alter the created, modified and accessed dates of any file in no time at all, with this lightweight, simple-to-use piece of software
Windows keeps track of when a file was created, modified or accessed, but there is no easy way to alter these values without relying on a third-party program.File Date Attribute Changer is a very simple utility that allows you to modify a file’s date and time attributes in a couple of easy steps. It only offers a basic set of features, but it is user-friendly and doesn’t require installation.
Straightforward program that can be set up in seconds
As you can probably tell, this is an application designed to perform one simple function without making things more complicated than they should be. It doesn’t come with any extra features, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing.Users will likely appreciate the fact that you don’t need to actually install anything before using the software, provided .NET Framework is already available on your computer; if not, you will have to install this component.
Quickly change the date and time attributes of individual files
Once you have launched the program, you can navigate to a file’s location to import it. Sadly, it is not possible to add new files using drag and drop actions. The current date attributes will be displayed in the main window, and you can choose which of them should be modified.While this application is great for processing individual files, it does not allow you to load multiple items and change all their date and time attributes in one operation.
Lightweight, accessible tool for modifying a file’s date attributes
Overall, File Date Attribute Changer can certainly get the job done, provided you don’t need to modify large numbers of files. If all you wish to do is change the created, modified or accessed dates of a single file, however, this small utility can definitely help you out.
