How can i change an time stamp of a file?

Is it possible to change the time stamp? Creating time, last accessed, last modified?

at the operating system level, renaming a file doesn't normally change those attributes.

you could always use a downloadable dos utility called "touch" to do it - depends on how granular you want to be

Thank you,

So, I assume, it is not possible to change these file times / the time stamp with ReNamer.

Thanks again.

It would always use my file manager, but i think ReNamer can do that too by utilizing an script command, see

http://www.den4b.com/wiki/ReNamer:Pasca … Management
function SetFileTimeCreated(const FileName: WideString; const DateTime: TDateTime): Boolean; - Sets creation time for the specified file.
function SetFileTimeModified(const FileName: WideString; const DateTime: TDateTime): Boolean; - Sets last modified time for the specified file.

There are also this commands to execute third party apps:
function ExecuteProgram(const Command: String; WaitForProgram: Boolean): Cardinal;
function ExecConsoleApp(const CommandLine: String; out Output: String): Cardinal;

For an how-to use them see
http://www.den4b.com/wiki/ReNamer:Scripts

Many thanks for the links and codes, sorry again, I have any idea, how to use that, sounds very complicated for me.

Some file managers (e.g. explorer2) can do this.
