    Change Folder's Time Stamp


    Hello,
    How can I change timestamp of a folder. Searching the net I found many "how to's", but only for files, not for folders.
    Is it possible ? if yes, then how to do it.
    Answers will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I have used this program for years. Works on folders as well as files. New version out today, too ! -

    What are some examples that it would be beneficial to change timestamps of files and folders? For files/folders, you can simply change the ascending/descending order by simply using the explorer extension tree built into explorer already:

    I don't understand why a shell extension is necessary at all because if the order cant be changed by way of my screenshot, then all you have to do is add or subtract something to a file/folder and save it again in order for explorer to reset its position in a list.

    Thanks. I've been looking for a program like this for a while, to deal with photo file date issues.

    I use two utilities

    SKTimeStamp - Stefans Tools - see its download page - this is useful for setting whatever you want as the Created / Modified / Accessed timestamp for folders & files
    and
    NirSoft's FolderTimeUpdate - this is useful for setting the timestamp of folders to that of the newest file within it {it can work its way through whole folder trees}

    And several of the free and paid-for file managers can do it. I use Total Commander [paid] on my main computer and Free Commander on others.
