Is it possible to change the date when a file is saved created or modified
as displayed in Explorer. I need to tidy up a number of files before they
are issued to others.

PcMagazine had (has?) a utility they called TOUCH or TOUCH32 (sorry,
it has been awhile since I looked) which does that

Reason I haven't looked at PcMag's utility area for awhile is that
they changed from free to subscription

You might want to do a Google for something like File Date Utility
or File Date Setting to see what else is available

Hi

You will want this one, it can set the created, modified and
accessed date on files:

SetFileDate, download from

Other tools than also can change dates on files, at least the
modified date part:


GUI based file managers that can do this:

2xExplorer (free)
http://netez.com/2xExplorer/

Total Commander (shareware)
http://www.ghisler.com/


Command line utilities:

Time Stamp 1.1 (can be set up so that you can right click on files
and "Send To" TimeStmp)
http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/freeware/

touch.exe from the GNU utilities for Win32 at
http://unxutils.sourceforge.net

It's possible, but not with Explorer. You'll need a third party
application that can change the file date creation attribute. There
are many that can do it; some free, others shareware. Do a search
using Google or you can go to www.cnet.com and search their file
archives.
 
Thank you all, this was just the help I needed.
