I honestly cannot say how I first heard of the donation coder website as it will be 10 years ago that I made my first donation to the site and I have no idea when I first visited the site.
As far why I decided to donate, I use your ScreenShot Captor program almost daily through the week and I enjoy the web site and other software as well. Thanks for the great software!

Software Utility: Stoic Joker's (File & Folder) Fix When

FixWhen.jpg
Application Name Stoic Joker's (File & Folder) Fix When
Short Description Utility for modifying File or Folder Dates & Attributes
Supported OSes Windows NT4/2000/XP/2k3/Vista/2k8/7
Author Stoic Joker


Description
One of the in-House (work) projects required me to modify the file dates of several hundred files on a semi-regular basis while a new system was being implemented. Obviously this had to be automated....

All of the then available utilities for this were in the $50 range, so I decided to take a stab at writing my own utility (because I'm cheap and had free time back then).

This actually started as a CodeProject.com code sample which was posted as an example of how to programmatically change file dates. Being that that was exactly what I was looking for, I used it as a starting point, dressed up the GUI, added a few features, and re-factored the existing code to increase the applications speed (x20) dramatically.

Features
Change Created, Modified, and Last accessed dates on a File or Folder.
Change the Read Only, Hidden, or System Attribute on a File or Folder.
Change the above on All Filed & Folders in a given Target Folder.
Bypass (Read Only or System) Attributes to effect changes as necessary.
Will also Display if target File of Folder is (NTFS) Compressed or Encrypted.
