SetDate is a little 32-bit program that allows you to set 
the date of a file. 
You can change all three dates (last write, creation and 
last access).

By default, SetDate should be copied in the "c:\Program Files" folder,
unless you chose another destination while unzipping. You can
run it from there, or you can create a shortcut on the desktop,
or in the Start Menu.

As an option, you can add "Set date" to all file context menus.
This means that whenever you right-click on a FILE, an 
option "Set date" will be available in the context menu.
Whenever you right-click on a FOLDER, the option "Set date" will
let you set the date of all files in this folder (excluding
subdirectories) to the same value.

If you run SetDate with filenames as command line options,
the dates of these files can be set to the same value.
Wildcards are not allowed here.

SetDate is freeware.

Known problems:

- If you add "Set date" to context menus, this becomes the default
  menu option for files that don't have a file type associated with
  their extension. This means that double-clicking on these files
  doesn't give you the "Open with..." dialog anymore, but "Set date"
  instead. There seems to be no simple way to add a context menu
  option for all files in Windows without creating this behaviour. 
  Also, program buttons on the Microsoft Office shortcut bar don't 
  work anymore after setting this option.

- Dates and times are not shown in the local date format, but in 
  US format (mm/dd/yy).
