Windows 10: File created 2022 File Modified 2011

Hello. This year I recorded some songs on an external device. I uploaded them onto my computer this summer. However it says that the files were created in June 2022 correct but the files were modified in 2011. How on earth can this be? How can songs or files which were only created this year possibly have been modified in 2011? I'll be grateful for any ideas.

Download managers - keep file created date but modified=download date

Seeking 3rd party download managers that :
1. do not change the file created date (or, at least, keep the server created date)
2. sets the modified date to download date.

So, for instance, I download a file today, then the file has
(for example) created date: 01-07-2019
modified date: 19-09-2022

My current download manager (IDM) can keep the 'server date' (so, 01-07-2019 in the above example), but the modified date will the be the same as the server date.

Downloads are stored in a downloads folder, amongst many other files of previous downloads and other temporary files.
The downloaded file is difficult to find then: it is somewhere amongst the others. In case of the modified date being the date of download, one can sort then on modified date and easily find the downloaded file.

Thanks for any suggestions.




Any suggestions?

Batch Files Knowledge Base

Don't use batch files very much but one I find useful is for creating a list of files in a directory.
Just copy the text below into Notepad and save as Filelist.bat

dir /a /-p /o:gen >filelist.txt

When you run it from a folder it will create a Filelist.txt file,in the same folder, that lists all the files in that folder.Useful when you are too lazy to type all the files out yourself.
