'Fooling' NTFS with time & dates

[crazyal]

Hiya

How easy is it to put a file onto a PC with NTFS & XP but end up with a totally different time/date stamp as to when the file was actually copied across?

Is it as easy as changing the BIOS/OS date and then copying the file across?

Any links appreciated

Piece of piss using a program known as "properties plus" - If you can't get hold of it, pm me your email address.

Cheers for that chap - I'll have a hunt around and get back to you if I need it.

EDIT - Found it JK, cheers for that. K+ left for your trouble.

Hope it did what you wanted!

It's a great app to install anyway - I always install it on my new systems along with an old version of treesize.

I used one called 'Better File Attibutes' that allowed me to change creation date etc for some photos i took - came in very handy

Also the changing time method would work, because as far as the pc is concerned, that is the time. Just make sure it's not set to automatically check on the net to get correct time.
