I see where I can change the date a file is created....

File.SetCreationTime(path)

But how can I change the date a file is modified.

Thanks, C

Thanks for the reply, but this didn't change the "Date Modified" in the
windows explorer. I'll just use the date created instead.

Did you try it like this?

System.IO.File.SetLastWriteTime("c:\test.txt", New Date(2099, 5, 5))

because this should do the trick.
