Many people don't realize that a file's creation time, modification time, and access time can all be changed. If we want to set a file's modification date to a specific time, or randomly within a certain time range, it can be easily done using this method. Here's how to batch modify file modification times in just 3 simple steps. Save this for future reference if needed!
When to Change the Modification Time of Files
1. When organizing data, some files are old files from a long time ago, but due to recent copying, pasting, or other operations, the modification time has changed. Therefore, it is necessary to change the dates of these files back to the correct time to facilitate archiving by year and month, so as to avoid confusion.
2. Set the modification dates of a batch of files to the same day or within a certain month. When sorted by modification date, these files will automatically be arranged in order, making it easier for us to quickly find files.
3. When files are migrated, such as from an old server to a new server, or from local to cloud, sometimes the system will automatically change the time. We need to manually change the modification time of the files back to the original time to maintain consistent historical records.
