Tool to change file modified date with a tool which works inside File Explorer?

Question

Looking for a tool to change a file's modified date which works from inside File Explorer context menu. I am aware of external tools like BulkFileChanger but I want to right click on a file and make the change.

Answer 1

This one is freeware, and will change what you need plus various attributes that users don't normally have access to:

Answer 2

You can use File Date Touch - Windows version of UNIX touch command

Answer 3

I know its probably too late to answer this, but apparently this http://stefanstools.sourceforge.net/SKTimeStamp.html does exactly what OP wanted:

SKTimeStamp is a very simple shell extension which adds a new tab to the Explorer properties dialog. On that new tab, you can change the file/folder date and time.

Available for x86 and x64 Windows systems.

Answer 4

You can change the create date from the command line. You must first change the system clock date, then open a command prompt window at the current working directory, and issue the command:

copy /b [filename] + ,,

This uses the concatenation directive with the binary (/b) switch, basically copying the file to itself and incidentally setting the create date of the "new" file to the current system clock.
