How Can I Modify the Date of a Newly created sub-folder within a Program Files Folder....
Do I need to Restart in Dos mode?......
or just open a Dos prompt window?......
Do I use the ATTRIB command in DOS......(I can get to the folder...just need syntax for modification)

TIA

try open my computer
go view>>folder option>>view tab
uncheck hide hidden and system files
open the program files folder

if you want to change the "modified" date of the folder, change the clock to date and time you want, and make some change in the folder (for example create a text file then delete it). to change the "created" date of the folder, you have to delete the folder, change the date and time, and then create the folder again.

hope this would help.
