    File Explorer Date column - whiich date is it?


    The column heading in Win 10 File Explorer is 'Date'. But which one?

    I've always been used in XP to the default being 'Date modified', but it seems that here it's Date created? Several re-saves have left 'Date' unchanged.

  2. Windows Explorer dates

    I don't get a "sort by" option with right click on a file/folder. I do get it using the menus. Unfortunately I find it has no impact on the actual dates given in the File Explorer Columns. Whatever the column is call, the date is the date of the save-as
    from Outlook to File Explorer.

  3. Photos app dates

    I was looking at the file list in explorer, the only date column showing was date modified. I went back into explorer after receiving your reply and added date created to the columns showing and both date created and date modified had the 2100 date. Found
    a little utility called bulkfilechanger and was able to change both dates for all files in that album in a batch with a single action...NICE! Thanks for your reply.
