Of course, it's trivial to set the clock back in Windows, so does the access
time reliably tell you anything?
c:\>dir /ta a.txt
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 0000-0000
Directory of c:\
07/24/2002 10:33a 10 a.txt
1 File(s) 10 bytes
0 Dir(s) 1,234,567,890 bytes free
c:\>date
The current date is: Wed 07/24/2002
Enter the new date: (mm-dd-yy) 1/1/1980 <-- Time travel
^-- (Be careful, this froze my Win2k machine!)
c:\>type a.txt
hello
c:\>date
The current date is: Tue 01/01/1980
Enter the new date: (mm-dd-yy) 7/24/2002 <-- Back to the future!
c:\>dir /ta a.txt
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 0000-0000
Directory of c:\

Under Windows 98 you should use:
DIR /V
And you shall see what you need...

Aw, be nice. Some people _have_ to use those windows thingies...
Check "dir /?" -- specifically, "dir /ta" will do what you want.

under your windows? well, under my windows, there are window sills.. no
files there, sorry. i have a couple of files in my toolbox, though. but
nobody can tell when they were last accessed..
