Date Mismatch

RonNewYork · 23 Aug 2018

I have files stored on a USB external drive. I use the subst command. When I view the file in the folder list from Explorer the date shown for the subst drive is quite different from the date of the file for the non-subst file. The subt drive's file date is 2/3/2018 and the date when viewing the folder on the drive without using the subst shortcut is 2/23/2018. If I hover the mouse over the file, the small popup says the correct date and time.

What causes this?
Thanks.

Hi Ron.

Are all the "Date" columns the same. There is Date, Date Modified, Date Created and then all these other date columns

I notice a difference in some copies. One was showing date modified and one was showing date created. When I used the same date column the dates matched.

DUH!!!! YES! For the actual drive the Date Modified column was over the right and the window was small so it cut it off.

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
