Have any of you had trouble with the dates returned by the FindFirstFile and FindNextFile API functions?

Some files are returned with what appears to be a default created-date of 01/01/1980, even though dates for most other files are returned correctly.

To recreate the problem: try using the functions to return the created-date of a system file such as boot.ini or ntdetect.com

Incidentally, the FileSystemObject returns the same invalid dates.

I'd very much appreciate some help on this. Either a fix or a workaround, either is fine.

Many thanks

PS: I'm using Windows 2000.
