I think it says to add 1 day to the LastWriteTime of the file that was found.
If you see that co-worker again, make sure to give him a slap for not documenting very well...

ice,

The WIN32_FIND_DATA is a structure that is filled by FindFirstFile() or FindNextFile(). Your programmer has cleared st (set all members to 0). st is a WIN32_FIND_DATA structure. Before adding a day, pointed out by cpjust, there must be a FindFirstFile() or FindNextFile() where the st structure is filled. Then the day can be added to the ftLastWriteTime member.

If it ain't broke, it probably needs improvement.
