IDEA: set folder modifed date/time to most recently modified file it contains

<< < (2/3) > >>

I have some files here that contain NO kind of timestamp. This would be useful to repair these broken dates. Does someone also has found anything like this on his drives?

Crush, you might find AnteDator useful for that purpose.

Crush: no timestamp? That sounds pretty messed up and basically impossible :-s

maybe this tool can fix the problem - Ninotech Date Edit.

"Ninotech Date Edit is a shell extension for Windows that enables you to change the date and time (the timestamp) of your files. You can change the created, modified, and accessed date of a file by right-clicking it in the Windows Explorer and choosing Edit Date from the context menu. By selecting multiple files in the Windows Explorer you are allowed to change the date/time of many files in just one action.

On Windows NT4, Windows 2000, and Windows XP you are also enabled to change the time and date of your directories."

 :) Try MostRecent!

Select the start folder, and it will recurse the folder and set it's and all it's subfolders' modifed date/time to the most recently modified file or folder it contains.
