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
