changing the file date, preserving time?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have been looking for a way (free utility would be nice) to change a

bunch of file (Modified) dates (month / day) while preserving the time

stamp, So far every utility I have tried changes the time too which I

must preserve as it has meaning. Any help would be greatly

appreciated.

Hi Ron

 

I haven't tried this myself but it looks as if it may do what you want

as it has separate controls for date and time (I'm presuming you want

all the files to have the same timestamp?)

There are dozens of "touch" command line utilities around that will

do this, e.g. touch.exe from here: http://pobox.com/~stevemil

The generally recommended utility is:

 

http://www.jddesign.f2s.com/touchpro.htm

 

Although it isn't freeware, £7 is hardly unreasonable.

 

It has much functionality without registering and I believe it will do what

you want. Registering releases all the bells and whistles (although this is

based on a previous version).
