  1. Date accessed randomly changes in my files Word, pdf,mp3


    I noticed that the date accessed in my files Word, pdf etc randomly changes even when I don't open the file, don't copy, don't move, nothing. For example it shows accessed today 30 min ago, but I know I didnt open it for a week. It happens to almost all the files on my desktop. Why is this happening?

    :)

    Hello,

    Regarding your PDF documents, the location will be based on where you saved the files. For your second inquiry, your documents can be converted to a PDF. If the original file is from Office Word, we suggest that you follow the steps below:

    • For Optimize for, select an option: Standard or
      Minimum Size.

    • Select Open File After Publishing, if you want to open the file after you save it as a PDF. This is selected by default.

    Reading pdf files in Word

    How can I use Word 2013 and Word 365 to open a .pdf file? If I right click on the .pdf file and choose Open With, no Word exist in the list.

    Thank you.

    Date accessed randomly changes in my files Word, pdf,mp3

    How2 CHange dates of a file--suggested software not good enough

    I used SKTimeStamp to change the dates of a file. However, I noticed it could only change 3 dates:
    Date Created
    Last Modified
    Last Accessed
    A search for such a utility often suggests "BulkFileChanger (BFC)" which seems to do the exact same thing: only these 3 dates.
    However, if I right click on a file, for example a Word file, there 2 other dates listed:
    Content Created
    Date last Saved

    Hence the above two utilities are not good enough. Is there a utility (or way) out there to change all dates including the last 2 mentioned?

    Thanks in advance.
