All,
I was looking on a portable drive, and I'd noticed that none of the accessed files had the date changed to what I had expected them to be changed to. I found out that you have to enable this option to modify the LA timestamp because it's disabled by default. What other properties can I look at in the file to be able to prove it was accessed on the date that I was expecting that it was?
Thanks!
Hi, what were you "looking" at them with ?, and what file system is the OS partition, NTFS ?
Go to RUN Command Box, ensure that you have run this program with Administrator rights
Type this in the Prompt…
fsutil behavior set disablelastaccess 0
Press Enter, reboot… Viola… That's it.. It's now Enabled…
BTW Welshie, Time Stamps has nothing to do with what type of partitioning or HDD Format.. It's the OS's…
Not in the file….but recent LNK files.
Well, he says, LA (Last Access) Files… What is LNK Files?
The portable Drive Files, etc.. are all Time Stamped By Windows….
RickC,
Are you sure there is no difference when examining file name attribute times, in the file allocation table on FAT, or MFT on NFTS ?
Why not just try using the command for the prompt and check it out? It's disabled by defaults and all I did was turn it back on. It Time Stamp the entire windows system… Etc… File that is in, say, Fat, NTFS, and/or Unallocated Space. Or Allocated space..
The best thing we can do is actually test it, there's no harm in the command I gave in the previous thread.
Here is my issue with the thread
I was looking on a portable drive,
Is that all there is? Is there no other computer to reference to it? Win 7 is mentioned - but…What is the file system on the portable device?
