File Date Editor

File Date Editor is an approachable tool you can use to modify the date and time of creation, last modification and last access of multiple files at the same time. It features straightforward options that can be handled with ease not only by experienced users, but also by novices.

The entire application's packed in a single .exe file that you can copy to the hard drive or a removable storage unit, in order to seamlessly launch File Date Editor on any PC.

Just keep in mind that .NET Framework must be installed on the machine, as the app was developed using this platform. Otherwise, it doesn't need DLLs to run, create files on the disk, or modify Windows registry settings.

As for the interface, it adopts a standard .NET Framework form without putting emphasis on appearance. On the other hand, it has a neatly structured layout and lets you add one or multiple files to the list using the file browser or drag-and-drop support.

You can view the full path, size and extension, along with the date and time of creation, last modification and last access of each file, as well as decide which of these timestamps you want to modify. Any of them can be preserved.

However, you should take into account that the new timestamps will be applied to all files from the task list, not just the selected ones. These changes can be committed with one click and don't require additional actions.

It worked smoothly in our tests, without freezing, crashing or indicating errors. Timestamp modifications were swiftly applied, during which File Date Editor remained light on system resources consumption. Thanks to its intuitive options, it can be easily used by anyone. Plus, it's free.
