I was just wondering if this happens to anyone else. When you right click a file and view it's properties, it's "Lasted Accessed" or "Accessed" date is always "Today," even if you didn't access it today.
Does ever happen to you guys?

hmm, you're right... the same thing happens to me! Maybe they want to tell us that we accessed the properties of the file today?????? But that's stupid, because we know we did it today cause we're doing it right now...!!!
I don't know...

Yeah that happens to me (Win98SE), but maybe it is because to view properties it has to access the file to read the dates etc...?

Hehe I noticed that too. I think it must be Chris' reason.

That's what I thought, but I remember when I first installed 98, and ME, it was working fine, but now it doesn't. I don't know the exact time it happened, but it happened to me on both of my OS's.

Hmmm, hard to explain isn't it, I'm at home now on my Win2k SP1 IE5.5 machine and its fine too  .
I'm just thinking, I use NTFS on both those machines.....

Does anyone actually use those dates? I never do, well apart from doing this test.

MadWorm, I'm using Win2k with NTFS too and I get the
"today at now" time...
The only way to avoid that is to give the file a read-only attribute...

Every now and again on large networks. Used to track down security breaches, (though ya can change the properties there are still logs from the FAT32 available). Also to check if dbs are actually being used.

Oh, I see now. There is quite a lot of useless Windows features, and I thought that was one of them. I never really understood why people would want to know when it was last modified. When it was created would be the most useful. Last accessed is stupid unless you want to know if the last time it was accessed was the last time it was changed.
