last access date

Thread view: 
Roedy Green - 27 Oct 2007 15:50 GMT
I was experimenting with a disk fragmenter called DiskTrix. During the
install it said that Vista had turned off maintaining last access
date, and offered to turn it on.  I was surprised to discover this was
a configurable feature.

Does anyone know how to control this without using DiskTrix.  Vista
help does not seem to have anything on it.

I wrote some Java to set last access date, but often Windows ignores
me when I try to set the access date on directories.  I have not yet
figured out why.

A quick search leads to these MSDN pages.
I don't know if this will be helpful.

What keywords did you use?  I got a ton of irrelevant hits.
I have summarised this with a new entry in the glossary at
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/fsutil.html

I will post it as soon as I complete a Xenu broken link check.

And how does this question relate to Java (especially Java GUI)?

I think it was the part where he said,

Windows being a GUI environment, maybe he associated that with the gui
newsgroup, but even if we stipulate that it's a little off topic, we can still
forgive such a truly minor transgression.

that was just a plain mistake. I meant to post to
comp.lang.java.programmer.

the link is tenuous.  I wrote a Java utility to read and write last
access dates in Windows.
