(these method is one of the simplest and might not be accurate as it might not display the correct date and it can be modified.)
Quick steps:

3. A drop-down menu will appear. Click 'Properties'.

How is it possible to tell if a file was copied?
Check source file Attributes: ACL's (access control block), access date, last accessed by, file sizes that appear to be exactly the same, creation date of target file vs access date of source... etc.
How is the created date created by a computer?
If you are referring to the date the computer recognizes as the day the OS was installed then it's just stored in the settings of the OS.Most operating systems maintain 2 dates for every file (some maintain 3 dates) in the file system: creation date, last modified date, (sometimes last accessed date). These are simply the date that was in the system clock when that event occurred.creation date, the date the file was first writtenlast modified date, the date the file was most recently written tolast accessed date, the date the file was most recently read fromThese 2 (or 3) dates are part of the information stored in the file's directory entry.
I forgot my hidden file's name how can i find it?
Microsoft Windows: Do a file search with 'hidden files' feature enabled. You can leave the filename blank and search- altough this will return thousands of search results.. Try doing the search on a set of folders you think where the hidden file is located. You may also want to set the "file creation date" range search filter.
How do you find when you created your RuneScape account?
It isn't possible to find the exact creation date of your runescape account. Unless you remember.
Why might it be important to view files stored by the date they were modified?
I have a folder where I make a new file every day, and the new file is always based upon the file for the day before. It is easiest to create the new file if the old one is siting near the top of the folder, which is what happens when it is sorted by creation date. If I sort by name it becomes a jumbled mess.
When was a video file captured is there a way that i can see when a video file was created the captured date not when i run it?
Different operating systems track different events for files. Most OSes these days will at least record the time a file was modified and last accessed; others will also record the creation time. The exact method of accessing this information varies from OS to OS, but the extended file properties will generally list these dates. MS Windows: * Right click file and choose "Properties", or * Select file and hit "alt-enter", or * from within Windows Explorer, select file, then File->Properties OS X Finder: * Select the file, File->Get Info, or * Select the file, hit cmd-i, or * ctrl-click file and choose "Get Info" MS Windows command line: * `dir /t c %filename%`: list creation date * `dir /t w %filename%`: list modification date * `dir /t a %filename%`: list last access date MS PowerShell: * `(Get-Item $filename).CreationTime`, or * `Get-Item $filename | Select-Object CreationTime` OS X command line (with developer tools installed): * `GetFileInfo $filename` * `GetFileInfo $filename -d`: print just creation date * `GetFileInfo $filename -m`: print just modification date *nix command line: * `ls -l`: list modification date * `ls -lu`: list last access date

How do you find your lost folder on the hard disk?
Try using search by name, keywords, date of creation or size.
What type of information is kept by Unix-like systems about each file on your computer?
The filesystem will keep metadata like filename, file permissions, file type (as far as whether it's a regular file, a directory, a named pipe, device file, and so on), file creation and modified date. In addition, if the filesystem being used utilizes inodes, it will also have information on the inode that file is on.
How can the modified date and the created time be different?
Simplistically, this is a function of the data stored on the 'file system' itself. There are many types of 'file systems' usually associated with the operating systems they are most commonly used with. A few of these are the FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS file systems, (most commonly used by Microsoft Windows operating systems) and the ext2, ext3 and Reiser file systems (most commonly used with Linux and/or other open source operating systems). There are many, many more as well. Some file systems may store only the 'creation date' (e.g. the date and time the file was originally created) and/or the 'last modified date' (e.g. the date and time the file was last changed). Other file systems may store the above data as well as other information such as the 'access date' (e.g. the last date and time the file was accessed - whether or not the file was changed or just opened and closed). Depending on the complexity and sophistication of the file system, other information may be stored as well as is often the case with 'journelled file systems'. [JMH]
When opening an Excel file in a different year will it automatically save to present year?
The short answer is maybe, but you will not change the file date just by opening the file. When you save a file, it will display the date and time when you saved it (as set in your computer date-time settings). Excel will ask you if you want to save the file when you exit (assuming you did not change the default settings). You can choose to leave the file as is (same file date) or save the file (current file date). An exception to this would be determined by your auto save settings on Excel. If you make any changes to the file, Excel might automatically save the file (thus, changing the file date). Additionally, windows may save the last-accessed date. Bottom line, if you want to view an Excel file and not change the date, save the file to a different name as soon as you open it. Then examine the file copy.
How do you find the date created of an old photo?
