Windows keeps track of the date and time every file was created, and of the date and time it was last modified. The trouble is, these date/time stamps can get mixed up. For example, many people use the date/time stamp of files imported from digital cameras to keep track of when pictures were taken. But when you copy files, the copy's Created date/time is set to when the copy occurred. FileTouch can fix this. You can swap the Created and Modified dates, copy dates from like-named files in another folder, or set the date/time stamps from the system clock, as well as set the date/time stamps to a specified value. Since files imported from digital cameras may all have the same date/time stamp, a "sequential" feature lets you stamp files with times at intervals from 1 to 30 seconds. FileTouch 2 also lets you change file attributes. You can save the settings you use most often as presets. The program also can be run from the command line. FileTouch 2 was written by Neil J. Rubenking, and first appeared in PC Magazine December 24, 2002 (v21n22). Source code is included.
