I realize finally that I can't tell the creation date of a downloaded
file. Regardless of what it really is, I end up with the download
date and time showing in both the date modified and creation date.
(In Windows Explorer, it shows the last date and time modified, and in
PowerDesk 6, it also displays the creation date and time.)
Is there a way to make Windows (or is it the Firefox downloader that
changes it?) preserve the date on the file when it is stored on my
computer??
Background: This was especially important recently when I dl'd an
antivirus boot disk which wouldn't even work. It turns out it is a
file from 2 years ago. I would have wanted something newer, even if
this one DID work, but the date in Explorer is always the download
date.
