utimes() works well when I try to set modification time and access time. And if the target creation time is earlier than the original file creation time, it works too. But, utimes() does not seem to work with the target creation time of later than the original time. The bypass solution is to copy the file and apply utimes() to the copied file, which seems to brute. Is there any effective way to change the file creation time? _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
