Check last accessed time without changing last accessed time!

[roycrom]

Hi,

We have a file server that we are looking into buying an archiving solution for.

Simply put, enter into the archiving solution the file system to archive on, and enter conditions for what parts to archive.

We would like to archive on last accessed time as opposed to last modified.

Does anyone know of a way to check the last accessed time without right-clicking and properties as this has the effect of changing the last accessed time - which makes sense but is of no use.

Thanks in advance!

To anyone else who this may interest - I found the solution using the DOS prompt. Use the DIR command with the switch /TA

i.e. C:> dir /TA

this looks at the last accessed time without actually modifying it.
